Other open data sources

In addition to the data portals for the city of Chicago, Cook County, and state of Illinois, metro Chicago has a couple other places with open data:

  • CMAP - Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning has an API to access thousands of data sets.  Start at their Data API page to read about it.
  • Chicago Tribune - has worked with others to make U.S. Census data available.  You can find datasets for Chicago census data at the Investigative Reporters and Editors site.
