as i said earlier, the answer is likely demographics.
besides, the ike doesn't separate the far west side from the southwest side on that map. none of the city's expressways separate anything on that map.
the boundary between the far west and the southwest side on the map is the BNSF tracks. the same boundary between south lawndale (little village) and north lawndale, which as we all know, are pretty different worlds.
