Introduction
Hermosa is on the northwest side of Chicago, and while it is a smaller community, it is one of the cities most densely populated neighborhoods. Hermosa is the birthplace to Walt Disney and is home to the Consulate-General of Honduras in Chicago. In 2018, the Hermosa Bungalow Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Transportation
Hermosa has not only received a high walkability score, but it is also well-connected with multiple CTA bus routes, the Blue Line, and several METRA routes.
The area also has access to Divvy rideshare bicycles, as well as Lyft/Uber rideshare services and taxi services. Unfortunately, this means that rideshare accidents, pedestrian accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and public transportation accidents can be common in the area.
Demographics
Hermosa has a population of 25,010 with 7,070 households. According to the most recent U.S. Census, the median income for the area is $41,103. The majority of Hermosa’s residents are renters, with 56.1% of residents renting their homes and 43.9% of homes being owner-occupied.
With such a high percentage of renters in Hermosa, apartment accidents, inadequate maintenance, stairway falls, and pool accidents are common. Victims of these types of premises accidents may be unsure where to turn, but America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience dealing with these accidents and can help hold property owners, property managers, and condo owner associations responsible for their negligent actions.
Education
Hermosa students are primarily serviced by Chicago Public Schools, charter schools, and private schools, which include:
- Kelvyn Park High School
- North-Grand High School
- William Penn Nixon Elementary School
- Barry Elementary School
- McAuliffe Elementary School
- Pritzker College Prep
- Chicago Christian Academy
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, daycare accidents, playground injuries, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
Attractions
Hermosa is home to many activities and attractions, which include:
- Kelvyn Park
- Hermosa Park
- Ken-Well Park
- Keystone Playlot Park
- Bloomingdale Trail
- Walt Disney’s Birthplace
While most of the time spent at these Hermosa attractions will be enjoyable and uneventful, accidents can occur, including premises accidents, slip and falls, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, car accidents, drinking and driving, dog bites, and playground accidents.
