These charts visualize data from the 40th Ward Office’s New Arrivals Data Dashboard. According to the City of Chicago, the city has welcomed over 37,000 new arrivals from the southern border since August 31, 2022. June 9, 2023 is the earliest date the city has released data.
The Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) has recorded and reported the number of chartered buses that arrive at the city’s “landing zone,” people who arrive by airplane to the city’s airports, and those who independently arrive at emergency staging areas in police stations. The first chart shows the number of new arrivals at these staging areas or “landing zones” over time.
The city has also created 23 temporary congregate shelters across Chicago where they provide case management for new arrivals. The second chart shows migrants at these shelters over time divided into which region of the city the shelter is located.
