Introduction
North Park is bordered by the North Shore Channel on the east, the Chicago River’s North Branch and Foster Avenue on the south, Cicero Avenue on the west and Devon Avenue on the north. The area takes its name from North Park University.
Transportation
North Park is accessible via mass transit through the Union Pacific North, the Chicago “L” Brown Line, and Busses #81, and #92.
North Park residents also have access to Divvy, 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
North Park has a population of 18,442 in its 2.07 square miles according to the most recent U.S. Census. The area was originally a Swedish community, then a home to a large population of Orthodox Jews, and is more recently the home of Latinos, Middle Easterners, Koreans, and Central Europeans.
