Divvy & bike access by community area
Bikeshare access is a live Chicago equity question with a clean spatial answer: which neighborhoods can actually reach a Divvy station, and where are the docks? Search your address or click any community area, and switch between the share of parcels near a station and docks per 1,000 parcels.
How to read this map
Near a station is the share of a community area’s parcels within 400 metres — a short walk — of an in-service Divvy station. The walk-shed is straight-line, not routed: the Chicago River, rail embankments, and expressways aren’t walkable, so real walking access is somewhat lower than the map shows. Docks per 1k is in-service docks per 1,000 parcels — where bikeshare capacity is concentrated. Greener is more access on both.
Only stations that are currently in service count, and the dock figure is docks in service, not total docks — a station that’s installed but offline doesn’t give anyone a bike. Docks per 1,000 parcels is a density proxy for residents until neighborhood population is wired in; the drawer shows the raw dock and station counts behind each figure.
