Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chicago Recreation Survey, 1937, Vol. 4: Recreation by Community Areas in Chicago; A Project Sponsored Jointly by the Chicago Recreation Commission and Northwestern University The population data are based on the 1934 census (a Civil Works Administration - University of Chicago joint project.) The average size of the family was obtained by simply dividing the total number of individuals in the area by the number of families represented. The index for type of dwelling was secured by using the average for the Whole city as the base, 100, then compar ing local ratios with the city average. For ex ample, 5 per cent of all the families in Chi cago live in single dwellings; in community area number one per cent live in single dwellings, community area number one therefore is given an index rating of 36 on this point. The index for other types of dwelling was computed similarly; Board of Education data include the schools actu ally in use' on January 1, 193 7. The first date in parentheses indicates the date of erection, other dates the years in which additions were made. The sites were located from school blue prints furnished by the Board of Education. The play space indicated on school plots can be taken only as a rough approximation, for it represents merely acreage not actually occupied by buildings without any-deduction or allowance for walks, landscap ing, etc. In other words the play space is merely potential and not actual. Hence the situation so far as concerns play space surrounding Chicago public schools is really much less favorable than would appear from a superficial examination of the plots as herein drawn. The recreational facili ties listed for the Chicago Park District, the Bureau of Parks, Recreation and Aviation and Cook County Forest Preserve District are as of the summer of 1937. Chicago Public Library data are taken from the year ending December 31, 1937. The church data were derived from religious agencies reporting to the Survey field stallc during the year 193 6 - 193 7. Settlement data cover 1936. Those for all other private agencies relate to the year 1937. With regard to commer cial recreation, retail liquor licenses reported in these pages are those issued during the first Six months of 1937. Billiard halls, bowling alleys, riding academies and shooting galleries included are those licensed during the calendar year 193 6. The figures for all other commercial agencies were from license records for 193 7. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
