Introduction
McKinley Park is located on the southwest side of Chicago and has been a working-class area since its beginnings, with a history of iron, steel, brickyards, and meat-packing plants providing jobs throughout the early 1900s. At the beginning of the 20th Century, after years of complaints by residents, 69-acre McKinley Park was created, the area’s showpiece and namesake.
Transportation
McKinley Park is accessible via mass transit through the CTA Orange Line, as well as the RI Train, and Busses #50, and #62.
McKinley Park residents also have access to Divvy rideshare bicycles, 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
McKinley Park has a population of 16,366 in its 1.40 square miles according to the most recent U.S. Census. The largest population within the area is of European descent, however, Mexican residents have begun to join the mix, with a median household income of $43,828.
