Interesting about Norridge. It's basically a Chicago neighborhood that never joined the city. I always think of it as being heavily Polish, didn't know about the Italian component.

Worth noting that the Census long form has a very small sample size, so at the zipcode level you should take all the data con una presa di sale...
