About
There have been several blog posts about open data in Chicago (see here and here) - though there doesn't seem to be a single registry of open data.
Political/administrative boundary data sets are available at:
Datasets include:
- Census Block
- Census Data -- November 2004
- Census Tracts
- City Boundary
- Citywide Wards Map
- Community Areas
- IL House
- IL Senate
- Surrounding Municipalities
- Neighborhoods
- Precincts
- TIFS 2008
- US Congress
- Zipcodes
Openness
Assume this is intended to be open, but no information found on whether or not data can legally be reused.
