Jane Addams 
1889 - Jane Addams founded Hull House in Chicago. “Settlement houses” such as Hull House provide a setting for university-educated women in volunteering to improve conditions in the crowded, impoverished cities. 
1893 - Illinois’ Bureau of Labor hired Hull House to gather statistics on wages in Chicago. Hull House residents conducted surveys to gather the data. 
In 1895, Jane Addams and the women of Hull House published their findings in Hull House Maps and Papers, a ground-breaking study of the poor neighborhoods around Hull House. The Hull House maps showed income and ethnicity in different colors. 
JANE ADDAMS (1891): "The streets are inexpressibly dirty. The number of schools inadequate. Sanitary legislation unenforced. Hundreds of houses are unconnected with the street sewer. The older and richer inhabitants seem anxious to move away as rapidly as they can afford it. They make room for newly-arrived immigrants who are densely ignorant of civic duty." Jane Addams, 1891. 
Hull House Maps & Papers 
Hull House is the most famous "settlement house" in American history. Jane Addams and her fellow residents were among the most important pioneers of empirical social science in the service of progressive reform. In 1895, Hull House published a compilation of information they had gathered about wages, ethnicities and other social variables. The residents had gathered this information in the neighborhoods surrounding Hull House in Chicago. To this day, the colored, statistical maps and explanatory essays stand as a milestone in the development of sociology, economics, and social work.
