2000-2010 Immigration

From 1990 to 2000, Chicago's population has grown by 537,000.  In 2000 the Chicago's population was 2.89 million people, with 1.4 million immigrants. Of those immigrants, Mexican, Polish and Indian immigrants make up 56% of the immigrant population. The African American population at this time however was leaving Chicago at a rapid pace, this is opening up places were more immigrants can settle. Also the increase of population moving to the suburbs opens up more inexpensive housing which attracted more and more immigrants. The 2000 census found more immigrants in the suburban portions of metropolitan Chicago than in the city of Chicago itself.

2000-2010

Unemployment rate: 6.4% (February 2005) 
The cost of living in Chicago is higher than the national average: 2004 (3rd Quarter) ACCRA Cost of Living Index: 130.4 (U.S. average = 100.0)

Immigrants from Mexico now account for nearly half the city's foreign-born population, for example, yet Chicago also remains one of the foremost U.S. gateways for workers and families from Eastern Europe. 

 Annual household incomes for blacks trail those for whites by more than $20,000.

And families with children face particular challenges—more than a third live below or near the poverty line, and more than one in five Chicago children live in a family with no adult workers
