Money train: Metra stops and income levels
THE INTERACTIVE MAP AT THIS LINK http://shar.es/Z8Ko5 IS AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR CHICAGO REGION RETAILERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. Average income levels for populations served by Metra train stops.
Chicago history buffs may know that early developers and rail pioneers would buy land, extend a rail line to the land, build a park or other consumer amenity to draw people out of the city, and then build communities near the train station. It is interesting to view this interactive map to see the long term result of that strategy.
