Introduction
Bronzeville is a neighborhood in the Douglas and Grand Boulevard communities on the South Side of Chicago. In the early 20th century, Bronzeville was known as the “Black Metropolis” for its significant concentration of African-American businesses.
Transportation
Bronzeville is accessible via the Green and Red Lines of the Chicago Transit Authority, as well as the Metra Electric District Main Line.
The area also has access to Divvy and Uber/Lyft ridesharing, as well as taxi services. Unfortunately, this can also mean bicycle accidents, rideshare accidents, public transportation accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and pedestrian accidents.
Demographics
Bronzeville has a population of approximately 29,313 with 13,250 households. The percentage of households in the area with children is 21.1% with a median household income of $38,500. The most common occupations include administrative, sales, education, management, and personal care.
Education
Bronzeville is home to primary, secondary, and post-secondary institutions, which include:
- Bronzeville Classical Elementary
- Bronzeville Scholastic Institute High School
- Bronzeville Academy Charter School

When sending your child off to school you assume they will remain safe, however, this isn’t always the case. School bus accidents, gym and physical education accidents, lack of supervision, playground injuries, college accidents, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
