Introduction
South Deering is located on Chicago’s far South Side and is primarily an industrial neighborhood, 80% of the area is zoned industrial, natural wetlands, or park, with a small number of homes located on the northeast corner and the remaining land (20%) zoned as residential and small-scale commercial.
Transportation
South Deering is serviced by a number of Chicago Transit Authority bus routes, including:
- N5 South Shore Night Bus

Demographics
South Deering has a population of 15,305 with 5,068 households in its 10.71 square miles. According to the most recent U.S. Census, the median income for the area is $35,056 and the median age is 37.

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.

South Deering is home to many activities and attractions, which include:
- Calumet River

While most of the time spent at these South Deering 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.
