Other Sources of Census Data

• Census of Population and Housing, General Characteristics volumes containing Illinois (as well as some other states) going back to 1880 (except for 1910)
• Chicago Area or Cook Cook County Block maps and data back to 1970 Census
• Oak Park and Chicago Tract maps and data back to 1960 Census
