To put that in perspective, here's Schaumburg:

Schaumburg: 79,000 people / 19 sq. miles = 4,150 ppsm
Lakeview, just north and adjacent to Lincoln Park, has the same look and feel and looks the same density as Lakeview. But Lakeview is about 33,000 people a square mile. Both have lakefront parks. Is it the empty Lincoln Yards, where that steel company used to be, that throws the Lincoln Park density lower?
