I don't think there are any Chicago neighborhoods that have that extreme level of vacancy, where the neighborhood has essentially disappeared.
Detroit has a ring of decay that has less than 10% of peak population. Places like Englewood, and Lawndale, are still semi-intact. They're more like Detroit circa 1985.
