Community Information

Many of the families have one or more Chicago Police officers, and the neighborhood has longstanding ties to the political machine in the area. Families such as the Daley family are based here in Bridgeport. There are also many churches in the area, each with a devout congregation.

A common thread running through Bridgeport's history is of old Irish immigrant families coming to Chicago and establishing their presence here. Sport is a common theme uniting the neighborhood, as the Chicago White Sox stadium is in the neighborhood, and the Chicago Bears stadium is only a couple of miles away.

This is a community bounded by clear boundaries on several sides; primarily the interstate to the east and north, the river to the west, and a large industrial area to the south, define the community of Bridgeport in Chicago. The community is primarily working class, with a lot of industry in and around the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is going through a demographic shift; there is a younger and more bohemian crowd consisting of young adults and students. Also, the adjacent areas of predominantly Hispanic and Chinese heritage are extending into Bridgeport, changing the makeup of the neighborhood.
