A Look At THE CENSUS

The condition of the 1920 Nara Films that describe the boundaries for the Enumeration Districts were in very poor condition.  Many of the Wards were unreadable.  You will notice that many of the Ward descriptions are quite different than those published based on the Chicago City Ordinances of 1911 and 1912. The 1920 Ward Descriptions I have posted are based on the actual census of 1920. These descriptions are based on a combination of the actual reading of the census and those descriptions that were readable.  The slight variances are due, for the most part, to the timing of the Ordinances and the date of the census preparation and actual census enumeration. There were  many enumeration errors in this census. I recommend that you read the notes for the Enumeration Districts and Wards for possible discrepancies and alternative Districts to research.
