	About Chicago Community Areas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Community Areas in Chicago were first delineated in the late 1920s by the Social Science Research Committee at the University of Chicago.
		Area 77, Edgewater, was split from Area 3 (Uptown) by the City of Chicago before 1980 data were analyzed.

	Chicago's Community Areas
		Established in the 1920s by University of Chicago sociologists conducting urban research, these zones represented moderately coherent social character across urban space at this generalized geographical scale.
		These so-called “community areas” have been widely used ever since as a convenient means of summarizing social and physical features of spatial units smaller than the city as a whole, with stable boundaries for the compilation of census data.
		From the beginning they only unevenly reflected the actual experience of community within the spaces, and over tiem many of them have become even less indicative of the perceptions of their residents, whose characteristics have shifted considerably due to migration.

	Community Areas
		Chicago's Department of Public Health also had an interest in reporting local variations in birth and death rates.
		The two institutions collaborated to produce a map with 75 community areas, into which 935 census tracts were distributed.
		And the virtue of the community areas, their stability, means that they cannot accommodate transformations in the geography of Chicago, such as the mid-twentieth-century expressways that cut through once-coherent neighborhoods.

	IMDC Community (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)

		A review of overall Chicago community health measures and TB program data from 2002 determined the location for the intervention: 13 contiguous but different community areas on Chicago's Southside.
		These areas combined have a TB case rate greater than 15 per 100,000, and twice the national percentages for unemployment and infant mortality.
		The African-American communities that are the focus of these interventions have a great need for intensified TB prevention, control, and elimination activities.

		Community areas, of which there are 77 in Chicago, are supposed to be homogenous neighborhood-like districts.
		Although most community area boundaries are coincident with census tract boundaries, because the city limits intersect census tract boundaries in several places, it is not possible to derive community area data from census tract data in a straightforward way.
		Census tracts are small areas that are supposed to be somewhat homogeneous.

	UIC CUPPA: VNC: Areas of Research
		Community based groups are vehicles for change in any neighborhood but these group often lack the technical expertise needed to move some projects along.
		In trying to help communities like West Town to understand and deal with the effects of gentrification, VNC staff developed an index to gauge the extent to which different parts of the community were gentrified over time.

		The editors of The Encyclopedia of Chicago began with a commitment to a vision of a metropolitan area whose past, present, and future rest on the principle of interdependence.
