So in Chicago, there seems to a fairly contiguous north/northwest Jewish sector running from West Rogers Park, to Skokie/Lincolnwood, western Wilmette, up to Glencoe and Highland Park, then inland into Northbrook, Deerfield and at the end Buffalo Grove. The main "gap" seems to be Winnetka which was initially bypassed (I suspect it had very few Jews 40 or 50 years ago but now has some Jews though less than its neighbors, and Kenilworth which still has few Jews). And then Lake Forest still has few Jews. So there's still evidence of the old WASP-Jewish split, though less so than in the past. Obviously there's strong overlap between the Jewish population and favored quarter settlement; the Jewish population is mostly located in or adjacent to it.
