Suburbs Rapidly Grow Around Chicago, Report Finds
A Chicago area survey by the Chicano Association of Commerce shows suburban counties expanding far faster than the metropolis. From 1920 to 1930 the suburban population rose from 862,670 to about 4.4 million by 1930, with projections to about 2.6 million by 1930 and beyond. Transportation development, cars, and highways drive growth, extending 35 miles from the city center. The western, northern, and southern regions, including Gary, show the strongest gains aided by electrified suburban rail service and highway funding. Oak County plans to spend most of a 15 million highway bond from 1926.
