South lakefront CA's by median HH income (2023 ACS):
City of Chicago: $75,134
41. Hyde Park: $68,166
39. Kenwood: $61,078
38. Grand Boulevard: $49,092
35. Douglas: $47,426
46. South Chicago: $42,456
43. South Shore: $40,125
42. Woodlawn: $35,030
36. Oakland: $29,960
40. Washington Park: $27,869
So there is still plenty of deeply entrenched legacy poverty dragging the medians down.
Even the two northern ones of Douglas and Grand Boulevard (aka "Bronzeville") still aren't over $50K yet (well, they might be by now, data is three years old).
