where does the south side of chicago start
South Side, Chicago The South Side of Chicago was originally defined as all of the city south of the main branch of the Chicago River,[4][5] but it now excludes the Loop.[3] The South Side has a varied ethnic composition. It has great disparity in income and other demographic measures.[6] Although it has a reputation for being poor or crime-infested,[7][8] the reality is more varied. The South Side ranges from affluent to middle class to working class to impoverished.[9][10] Neighborhoods such as Armour Square, Back of the Yards, Bridgeport and Pullman host more blue collar residents, while Hyde Park, the Jackson Park Highlands District, Kenwood and Beverly feature affluent, middle and upper-middle class residents.[11]
