Nicely done piece! To your list of variables, I would also include fertility rates, which have been declining in the US (and the globe). I believe they’ve held steady in IL, but it would go to your thesis of declining household sizes.
This is really cool. I am curious now how household incomes have grown in Chicago. Also: interesting the concentration of growing population of kids in three Northside neighborhoods.
