Introduction
The Loop is the central business district of Chicago and the main part of its downtown area. The Loop is the second largest commercial business district in North America after Midtown Manhattan and contains the world headquarters and regional offices of many global businesses.
Transportation
The Loop has numerous options for transportation including busses, “L” trains, METRA, Amtrak, and Divvy rideshare bicycles.
The area also has access to 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
The Loop has a population of 33,432 in its 1.58 square miles with a median household income of $93,254 according to the most recent U.S. Census.
