      The green pocket should be much larger near the southside. And all the nuns at SXU

      That was likely the last census year before the flight to the suburbs began.

      On the exterior of some older buildings you can still find inscriptions, symbols, and art left by ethnic populations of the early to mid 20th century which correspond to the data on that map.

      The fact this map existed is an amazing view into how America saw itself at the time

      “Yugoslav” not really precise enough, I know at least there were separate Slovenian and Serbian enclaves, maybe there was a Croat one too. Maybe they ran out colors.

      I’m assuming the slanted shadings are Jewish?

      And I thought the far Southwest was ultra-Irish at the time?
