Bridgeview, IL Career Colleges and Universities--Browse Courses and Programs

Published: November, 2010

Located in Cook County, Illinois (population 5.3 million), the village of Bridgeview has 14,933 residents according to current estimates. The City's Motto, "A Well-Balanced Community," highlights its popularity as one of Chicago's busiest suburbs, with the region equally distributed among residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

Per capita income in Bridgeview, IL is close to $19,000 a year, with household income approaching $42,000 a year. Bridgeview is predominantly a manufacturing and production town, with companies like Prairie Materials, Chicago Metallic, Chicago Finished Metals and Signode serving as the largest employers in the area. It's also interesting to note that nearly one-third of the population (roughly 5,000 residents) commutes on a regular basis, so Bridgeview residents who gravitate towards more white-collar professions probably spend the majority of their time in nearby Chicago.

Bridgeview's blue-collar nature is reflected in the fact that only 10% of adults over the age of 25 possess a bachelor's degree or higher. And fewer than 75% of adults over the age of 25 have a high school diploma.

As a suburb of Chicago, Bridgeview enjoys many of the same benefits one might commonly associate with the Windy City. Professional athletics, museums, fine dining, and cultural outlets help provide entertainment for Bridgeview residents. Closer to home, however, is Bridgeview's popular shopping district, with numerous retail outlets and strip malls.
