[constituency_baseline] District summary: Illinois's 1st Congressional District covers much of Chicago's South Side and extends southwest into Will County, including parts of Joliet. It is a majority-minority seat: 47.8% Black, 38.1% White, 10.5% Hispanic. The district has a D+32 partisan lean making it one of the safest Democratic seats in the country. Once represented by Rep. Bobby Rush for 30 years, it was won by Jackson in 2022. The district has deep civil-rights roots — Jackson is the son of Rev. Jesse Jackson — and it includes both the urban core of the South Side and more suburban/exurban communities to the southwest. Economic indicators reflect urban challenges: a $71,465 median household income (above national median but below many suburban districts), 11.5% poverty, 10% unemployment rate, 62.5% homeownership, and just 32.3% holding a bachelor's degree. Approximately 135,000 immigrants reside in the district, including 27,000 DACA/TPS holders. Key issues include workforce development and food security.
