Rogers Park is a community of 18,693 that prides itself on its diversity, its 10 beaches, and its vibrant and engaged residents. More than 80 countries are represented among Rogers Park’s population. Situated 10 miles north of Chicago’s Central Business District, the community’s eastern boundary is Lake Michigan; on the west is Ridge Avenue; the northern and southern borders are Howard Street and Devon Avenue, respectively.
Home to Loyola University, a significant portion of Rogers Park’s population is either in college (10.3 percent) or a college graduate (29 percent), some of the highest numbers in the city. It boasts a high number of residents with advanced degrees: 10.7 percent hold Master’s degrees; 3.5 percent earned professional degrees; and 3.4 percent have earned doctorates, twice the city average. Family households make up a third of the population, and an astonishing 121.8 percent of children ages 3 to K12 are enrolled in private schools.
The community is well served by public transportation modes. Seven bus lines, a rapid transit train and a commuter train line service provide residents with a variety of transportation options. Bicyclists make heavy use of the Lakefront Trail. Not surprisingly, 42 percent of its residents either walk or take public transportation to work, according to research commissioned by the Rogers Park Business Association.
In many ways, Rogers Park’s demographics make it a strong candidate for high utilization of ridesharing services. The community is people-dense; at 22,689 people per square mile compared to 11,909 for Chicago as a whole, according to research compiled by citydata.com. A recent article by Inc.com found that that rideshare use and awareness goes up with income: 49 percent of users earn more than $30,000 annually. Young adults aged 16-34 account for more than half the US market for rideshare use such as Uber and Lyft, otherwise known as Transportation Network Company (TNC). In fact, one transportation consultant and former New York City Department of Transportation official projects that this year, TNC and taxi passengers will outstrip bus ridership nationwide. And as rideshare use has grown, so have the number of accidents involving for-hire vehicles.
If you are injured in an accident involving a rideshare vehicle, it is important to protect your rights.
