  • Lincoln Park Community Data Snapshot Chicago Community Area Series August 2021 Release
    Lincoln Park Community Data Snapshot Chicago Community Area Series August 2021 Release 1 Community Data Snapshot | Lincoln Park About the Community Data Snapshots The Community Data Snapshots is a series of data profiles for every county, municipality, and Chicago Community Area (CCA) within the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) seven-county northeastern Illinois region. The snapshots primarily feature data from the American Community Survey (ACS) five-year estimates, although other data sources include the U.S. Census Bureau, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES), Illinois Department of Revenue (IDR), HERE Technologies, and CMAP itself. CMAP publishes updated Community Data Snapshots annually to reflect the most recent data available. The latest version can always be found at cmap.illinois.gov/data/community-snapshots. The underlying data can be downloaded from the CMAP Data Hub. Please direct any inquiries to [email protected]. To improve the Community Data Snapshots in the future, CMAP wants to hear from you! Please take a quick survey to describe how you use this data and what you would like to see in next year’s snapshots. User Notes Definitions For data derived from the ACS, the Community Data Snapshots uses terminology based on the ACS subject definitions. Margins of Error The ACS is a sample-based data product. Exercise caution when using data from low-population communities, as the margins of error are often large compared to the estimates. For more details, please refer to the ACS sample size and data quality methodology. Regional Values Regional values are estimated by aggregating ACS data for the seven counties that compose the CMAP region.

  • Primates Don't Make Good Pets! Says Lincoln Park
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EDITOR’S NOTE: Photos of an appropriate multi-male, multi-female group of chimpanzees at Lincoln Park Zoo can be found HERE. Pet trade images are not shared as Lincoln Park Zoo research shows when these images of chimpanzees in human settings are circulated, chimpanzees are not believed to be endangered. Primates Don’t Make Good Pets! Says Lincoln Park Zoo Series of manuscripts from the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes bring light to the detrimental effects of atypically-housed chimpanzees Chicago (December 13, 2017) – The Wolf of Wall Street movie. Weezer’s “Island in the Sun” music video. Michael Jackson’s “pet” Bubbles. While these may seem like unrelated pop culture references, they all have a similarly daunting theme: the use of chimpanzees in the pet or entertainment trade. These chimpanzees typically are raised by humans and rarely see others of their own species until they are fortunate enough to be moved to an accredited zoo or sanctuary. For years, Lincoln Park Zoo researchers have documented the long-term effects of this unusual human exposure on chimpanzees. Now, a third and final study in a series has been published in Royal Society Open Science Dec. 13 showcasing the high stress levels experienced by these chimpanzees who have been raised in human homes and trained to perform for amusement. Over the course of the three years, Fisher Center researchers evaluated more than 60 chimpanzees – all now living in accredited zoos and sanctuaries - and examined the degree to which they were exposed to humans and to their own species over their lifetime to determine the long-term effects of such exposure.

True to history, it will arrive in Springfield, Illinois on the same day, May, 2nd, 150 years later. ● Along the way the 2015 Lincoln Funeral Train will follow the same dates from start to finish, starting in Washington, D.C. on April 21, 2015 and ending in Springfield, IL on May 2, 2015.

  • Chicago-Area Museums Contribute to Illinois in Valuable Ways
    CHICAGO-AREA MUSEUMS, GARDENS, ZOOS, AND AQUARIA Proudly Serving Illinois for 160 years Chicago-area museums contribute to Illinois in valuable ways. ECONOMIC IMPACT: As employers, contractors, and tourist attractions, Chicago-area museums have a major regional economic impact, leading to jobs, tourism, and improved quality of life. $850 million total estimated annual economic impact 3,700 employees 23,000 full-time equivalent jobs supported 5 million non-Illinois visitors annually $40 million in state tax revenue $38 million in city tax revenue These leading museums represent a unique public/private partnership. Of their combined budgets of $427 million, only 14% comes from public sources (Cook County Forest Preserve District/Chicago Park District). The remaining 86% comes from admissions, private philanthropy, competitive research grants, facilities rental fees, museum store sales, and other earned revenue sources. EDUCATION: Chicago-area museums are a resource for local organizations across Illinois to provide effective education, outreach and affordable access. All Illinois school groups are admitted free of charge. 1.6 million school children visit Chicago museums each year. Illinois residents enjoy 52 free days at most of the major Chicago museums. Illinois teachers and active military personnel receive free admission every day. Museums make meaningful contributions to educating a new generation, through: o Teacher Training o Pre-K through 12 Curricula o Support of Home School Communities o Teen Intern Programs o Lifelong Learning Programs for Seniors . EXHIBITING GLOBAL TREASURES: Museums contribute to Chicago’s status as a world-class city. We safeguard 50 million+ collections holdings. By way of comparison, the national collections at the Smithsonian Institution number 141 million items.
