the far west side is a little more densely populated than the far south side, which is probably related to homicide density being a little greater there as well.
far west side:
humboldt park -- 15,281 ppsm
w. garfield park - 13,861 ppsm
austin ------------ 13,637 ppsm
north lawndale -- 11,024 ppsm
e. garfield park -- 10,647 ppsm
far south side:
auburn gresham -- 12,160 ppsm
chatham ----------- 10,751 ppsm
w. englewood ----- 10,208 ppsm
grand crossing ------ 9,086 ppsm
roseland ------------- 8,746 ppsm
englewood ---------- 8,454 ppsm

true. even englewood, the most "urban prairie" style hood in chicago, still packs in nearly 8,500 ppsm.
by comparison, the "ring of decay" around detroit's core has zip codes currently in the 1,500 - 3,500 ppsm range.
