Introduction
Oakland is on the south side of Chicago and is Bordered by 35th and 43rd Streets, Cottage Grove Avenue and Lake Shore Drive. The Oakland area was constructed between 1872 and 1905 and became a home to many of the area’s elite until the mid-1960’s when poverty fell upon the area.
Transportation
Oakland has access to Divvy rideshare bicycles, public transportation, 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
Oakland has a population of 6,422 in its 0.60 square miles. According to the most recent U.S. Census, the median household income in Oakland is $28,436.
Education
Oakland has a handful of schools, which include:
- NKO University of Chicago Elementary Charter School
- UChicago Charter Donoghue Campus
- Jackie Robinson Elementary School
- Christ the King Lutheran 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, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
Attractions
Oakland is home to a handful of activities and attractions, which include:
- Oakwood Beach
- 31st Street Beach
While most of the time spent at these Oakland attractions will be enjoyable and uneventful, accidents can occur, including slip and falls, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, car accidents, drinking and driving, dog bites, and playground accidents.
