Go to: Facts - See What's Here
Part of Chicago's Northwest-side Polish-and-Hispanic corridor, but blurring boundaries with a more traditionally white, English-speaking neighborhood, Portage Park has 24% Polish-speakers, 19% Spanish-speakers, and 46% English-speakers. 2% speak Tagalog. The neighborhood's namesake park is one of Chicago's lovliest, with impressive entry gates and pleasant buildings mixing with trees and grassy fields.
