As a Chicago native, just to add to this point, I also think there might be some problems with how they are looking at the data. People move around, a lot, and both those neighborhoods are at extreme ends of what conditions people would move. Bad luck, lost job, troubles with law, health issues or some other problem, your likelihood of moving to Englewood over Streeterville is well ... a lot higher. Retired, done well in life, taken care of your health, looking to live longer and have walking access to the top hospital, the reverse obviously. So it seems likely the statistics they are using have some major issues.
However, this doesn’t mean that I don’t agree Englewood is in bad shape and anything that could be done to better the lives of it’s residents should be attempted.
