Census figures, transit, parks and schools for Cathedral Area in Joliet.

Last updated

This report lists published facts with their sources. It doesn’t rate neighborhoods or say who an area suits, and it doesn’t include demographic or crime data. Boundary: Boundary is the City of Joliet's mapped "Cathedral Area" neighborhood. ACS figures use the Census tracts holding at least 15% of the area's 2,145 housing units (2020 Census blocks): 8827.02 (42%), 8817 (30%), 8827.01 (22%). Those tracts extend beyond the mapped boundary, so the figures describe the surrounding area too.
