The records on West Englewood: house median $40,000 to $150,500, the fastest rise our screen ranks, and flats fastest too; corporate buying past the threshold; 100 sub-$100K sales against 4 loans; valuations at 57.5 percent of sale prices. Every section links its source analysis.
HUD publishes a two-bedroom rent figure for every Chicago ZIP - the schedule Section 8 payment standards are built from. The median is up 46 percent since 2019, the floor is in Back of the Yards, and fourteen ZIPs share a $2,670 ceiling set by a verified federal cap.
Back of the Yards and Canaryville, in the records: houses up 82 percent from half the citywide base, corporate buying past the signal threshold, business licenses up 168 percent - the fastest on our screen - and the small-mortgage gap in plain view. Every figure linked to its source analysis.
On the same January-May window where CTA buses run at 86 percent of 2019 and the L at 65, Divvy logged 1.76 million trips against 998,000 - an expansion, not a recovery, and the piece explains the difference.
A River North office building just sold to become 70 apartments. The city permit file shows the wave it joins: 78 office-to-residential conversion permits since 2015, 35 of them since January 2024, at least 2,002 permitted homes in former office space.
The community area holding the West Loop leads all 77 in new-construction permits and has one of the only two above-2019 L stations - yet trips none of our five gentrification signals. Every figure linked to its source analysis.
Every figure our analyses have measured about East Garfield Park on one page: home sales, permits, licenses, mortgages, 311 timing, subsidized housing and the Conservatory stop, each linked to its source analysis.
A pre-registered baseline. Before the 5.5-mile extension to 130th opens, we froze the corridor's numbers - home prices, permits, licenses, 95th/Dan Ryan ridership - and published the exact list of what we will re-measure when trains run. House medians in the three higher-volume areas have at least doubled since 2019, from some of the lowest floors in the city.
EIA's own state table: Illinois average residential electricity went from 18.58 to 23.85 cents per kilowatt-hour, May 2025 to May 2026 - a 28 percent jump, the largest of the fifty states and DC, while the national average rose 6. Every sector paid more. The table doesn't say why, and neither do we.
7.1 million recorded violations since mid-2014, from a fleet that has held still: 300 cameras at about 150 intersections. The counts peaked in 2023 and have eased since - the opposite path from the speed cameras we counted this week. Lake Shore Drive and Belmont leads at 74 a day.
