WEST SIDE HISTORY AND COMMUNITY ASSETS The five community areas of the West Side Planning Area - Austin, Humboldt Park, East Garfield Park, West Garfield Park and North Lawndale – first began with developers erecting thousands of cottages, two-flats, and large apart-ment buildings to house workers from the nearby factories and downtown businesses. Eastern Europeans were the first settlers in the area followed by Jewish groups from Russia that looked for housing opportunities close to adjacent industrial areas located near the city’s border. The area was gradually annexed to Chicago from east to west starting in 1837 until 1899. The an-nexations were initiated by the existing residents who wanted better services.
Today, the West Side Planning Area has large and historic open spaces, including Columbus Park, Douglas Park and Garfield Park which provide some of the area’s most attractive features. In the last several years, there have been a significant number of affordable housing developments.
The Austin Community has the largest population of Chicago’s community areas: approximately 98,000 people reside here. The neighborhoods within this community are served by the Austin, Central, Laramie and Cicero Blue Line and Green Line CTA stations and the Mars, Galewood, Hanson Park and Grand-Cicero METRA stations. Columbus, Amundsen and La Follete Parks offer public open space, and residents are served by the Austin, North Austin and West Chicago Ave libraries. There are six health service providers, including: Loretto Hospital, Austin Community Academy, Circle Family Care (Division and Parkside), Austin Health Center of Cook County
and PCC Austin Family Healthy Center. Leadership for the area is provided by a number of business and resident organizations, such as: Austin Coming Together, Austin Chamber of Com-merce and the Westside Business Improvement Association.
The Humboldt Park Community Area has approximately 56,000 residents. Residents are served by eight bus routes, including the Chicago #66 and Kimball-Homan #82. Humboldt Park offers public open space, and residents are served by the North Pulaski and the Richard M. Daley libraries. There are six health service providers, including Hartgrove Hospital, PCC Clinic (Interfaith House), Rush-Orr Elementary, Louise Landau Community Center, Access-West Division Family Center, and Prima Care (Northwest). The area’s community based organizations have a continued interest in preserving the affordable housing opportunities through the development of new rental/for sale housing units and through the preservation initiatives like the Micro Market Recovery Program (MMRP). Leadership for the area is provided by a number of business and resident organizations, such as: Bickerdike Redevelopment Corp., West Humboldt Park Family and Community Development Council (WHPCDC), Nobel Neighbors, Latin Community Housing Development Association (LUCHA) and the Puerto Rican Cultural Center.
The East and West Garfield Park Communities have approximately 38,500 residents. The west portion of these communities has the West Side’s tallest buildings: the Midwest Athletic Center and the Guyon Hotel, both of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. Area residents are served by the California, Ashland, Conservatory, Pulaski and Kedzie-Homan Blue Line and Green Line CTA stations. Garfield Park offers public open space, and residents are served by the Ledger
Garfield Park, Golden Dome Sears Tower, W Arthington St and S Homan Ave Green Line station, W Lake St and N Central Pk Ave
library. There are six health service providers, including RML Specialty Hospital, Lawndale Christian Health Center - Homan Square, Erie Foster Avenue Health Center, Access Family Health Center (Bethany and Madison) and Marillac St. Vincent Family Center. Leadership for the area is provided by a number of business and resident orga-nizations, such as: Garfield Park Com-munity Council (GPCC), Garfield Park Neighborhood Association (GPNA), Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance (GPCA) and the Madison Revitalization Task Force.
The North Lawndale Community Area has approximately 4,800 residents. The neighborhood was densely built to house workers at huge factories like the McCormick reaper plant and the Sears headquarters and catalog fulfill-ment center at Homan and Arthington. Today, its residents are served by the Pulaski, Central Park and Kedzie Pink Line CTA stations. Douglas Park offers public open space, and residents are served by the Douglas library. There are six health service providers, includ-ing Lawndale Christian Health Center (Ogden and Homan Square), Access Health Center (King, Westside and Si-nai) and the Erie-Johnson School Based Health Center. Leadership for the area is provided by a number of business and resident organizations, such as the Lawndale Christian Development Corporation.
The West Side planning area also includes relatively smaller portions of the Hermosa, Logan Square, Near West Side, Little Village and West Town communities, but the history and future investments in these areas will be documented in other neighboring action plans: Far Northwest Side Action Plan (Hermosa), Greater Milwaukee Avenue Action Plan (West Town & Logan Square), Near West Side Action Plan (Near West Side) and Pilsen/Little Village Action Plan (Little Village).

The population of the West Side Planning Area has fallen by 42% since 1970, com-pared to 20% for Chicago overall. The area continues to be a historically African American community, with 77% Black followed by 17% Latino/Hispanic on the eastern and southern areas. Nearly 45% of the households in the West Side Planning Area earn less than $25,000 per year. The 21% unemployment rate was far higher here in 2012 (the latest year for which Planning Area level data is available) than in the city overall (12.9%). Unemployment has dropped significantly since then, and this data will be updated in future iterations of this Action Plan.

Retail Gap Analysis2013
Local sales exceed local demandLocal demand not satisfied by local sales
According to a study commissioned by the City in 2013 which analyzed the resi-dent buying power and actual retail sales within each of the Chicago’s 16 planning areas, the retailers operating in the West Side Planning Area generate lower sales volume in many commercial categories than the neighborhood residents would be expected to buy. This suggests that many West Side Planning Area residents leave the area to shop, particularly to the western suburbs. There may be a significant opportunity to recapture some of that spending that is leaking out of the Planning Area into the surround-ing planning areas and/or the adjacent suburbs. In some retail categories, such as Food and Beverage Stores and Health and Personal Care stores, retail sales were higher than neighborhood residents would be expected to buy, which suggests that visitors come into the West Side Planning Area to shop for goods in these categories.
Vacancy rates in the West Side Planning Area have decreased 8% for industrial, increased 10% for office, and decreased 1% for retail space between 2005 and 2013. In 2013, the West Side Planning Area had the largest amount of Indus-trial Rentable Building Space in the City (approximately 32.7 million sf) of which 11.4% were vacant.

The residents of the West Side Planning Area live close to open space, but enjoy significantly less acreage per resident than the City’s goal of 5 acres per 1,000 residents. The number of acres per 1,000 residents per Community Area is as follows: 2.1 for Austin, 1.5 for Belmont Cragin, 8.6 for East Garfield Park, 0.5 for West Garfield Park, 0.7 for Hermosa, 0.8 for Humboldt Park, 1.0 for Logan Square, 1.2 for Lower West Side, 0.8 for Montclare, 1.2 for Near West Side, 5.5 for North Lawndale, 1.3 for South Lawndale, and 2.8 for West Town.
Thirty-four percent of area residents live within a half-mile from a rail station, which is slightly below the city’s average. In contrast nearly 57% of residents drive alone to their work locations, slightly higher than the City’s overall rate.

WEST SIDE PREVIOUS PLANSThe residents, businesses and institu-tions of the West Side Planning Area have contributed their wisdom and hard work towards many planning efforts in recent years. This Action Plan will build upon the work that has already been undertaken. At least five plans have been completed since 2000 that generated recommendations to improve at least a part of the West Side Planning Area, one of which was approved by the Chicago Plan Commis-sion. Where appropriate, the recom-mendations from these prior plans will be incorporated into the Action Plan as Priority Projects. Some examples include:
• Strategy 2.2: Develop strategies for re-use of the estimated 1,750 private and City-owned vacant lots in East Garfield Park, from “East Garfield Park – Growing a Healthy Community, LISC Plan,” which inspired the creation of the Large Lots Program in East Garfieldand resulted in the sale of 500 City-owned residential lots for $1 (Priority Project #10)
• Strategy 2.5: Preserve open/green spaces in the midst of land development, from “East Garfield Park – Growing a HealthyCommunity, LISC Plan,” which inspired the Gold Dome - a major building rehabilitation (Priority Project #3)
