Description¶

The brief's core artifact is a set of community-area data tables and maps covering Chicago and its 77 community areas. The article states that it 'calculated the number of residents in Chicago and its 77 community areas who possess each descriptor' for 1990, 2000, and the ten-year change, with percentages 'when relevant.' 'Each calculation is described in community-area data tables, and each descriptor is displayed in community-area maps,' typically including 1990 and 2000 counts and percentages and their changes.
