Thanks. I have data on 100+ countries for every single census tract in Chicago for 2016 and 2010. I have been putting the data together for every Community Area for every reported country of foreign born population (100+). I definitely have more to come later...
Here's a random interesting one. In 2010 between Rogers Park and West Ridge, there were only an estimated 16 people who were born in Burma living there. In 2016 that estimate is at 712 - an increase of nearly 700 people born there. Uptown had a decrease of 187, but North Park and Albany Park together had an increase of over 100. Those areas together had an increase of 616 people from Burma. I was curious so I looked - found a new Burmese/Malaysian restaurant on Devon that looks like it only opened a few months ago.
