^ single family detached homes in Chicago only account for rougly 25% of the housing in the city. Its not the most common. The bungalow belt is large because single family homes obviously take up more space. Chicago's neighborhoods between the bungalow belt and the lakefront highrises are a mix of 2-flats, 3-flats, and 3-4 story Apartment buildings and its where the majority of the people live.
