Introduction
Hyde Park, home to many famous faces including Muhammad Ali, Hugh Hefner, and Barack Obama, is a neighborhood and community area on the South Side of Chicago that is located on Lake Michigan. The area to the east of the Metra tracks is called East Hyde Park and is home to a large number of high-rise condominiums as opposed to Hyde Park, which is home to more single-family homes and apartment buildings.
Transportation
Hyde Park is connected to the rest of the city by the Metra Electric Lines and the CTA buses, including:
- 2 Hyde Park Express
- 4 Cottage Grove
- 6 Jackson Park Express

The University of Chicago also provides transportation through the CTA, including:

The Hyde Park 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, bicycle accidents, and public transportation accidents can be common in the area.
Demographics
According to the most recent U.S. Census, Hyde Park has a population of 26,893 with a median household income of $45,335. Hyde Park is one of the area’s most racially diverse neighborhoods.
