Chicago Crime Map & Statistics 2026 — Police Crime Reports

What the 410,083 Chicago reports measure

The 410,083 figure is a count of incident records in the CPD open-data feed that LocalCrimeVault indexes for Chicago. Each row is a police report: a documented event CPD published with enough location and type fields to land in this city extract. The number is not a resident population, a victimization survey, or a conviction tally. It is the size of the public table for Chicago in this snapshot.

Dates in the extract run from July 16, 2024 through May 30, 2026. Open data is not a live dispatch feed. A scanner or a 911 tracker can show events that have not yet appeared as Socrata rows, and CPD can republish older records into a later file. Treat 410,083 as the published extract LocalCrimeVault indexed, then re-pull if you need a new as-of date.

Chicago community-area names are how this site slices geography under the city hub. Those area pages use the same parent file of 410,083 reports. Beats, districts, and wards are different geographies. If a map you saw used beats, it will not match this city total even when the street looks familiar.

Arrest and domestic fields are still reports

Of 410,083 Chicago reports, 62,890 carry an arrest field in this index (about 15.3 percent). That is a flag on a police-report row, not a prosecutor filing and not a guilty finding. A missing arrest field does not prove that nothing happened; a present arrest field does not prove a court outcome. 77,122 reports carry a domestic field (about 18.8 percent of 410,083). That split is how CPD published the extract, not a household census.

LocalCrimeVault does not add narrative color to individual cases. The overlay and the incident table are for people who need a public-record baseline: journalists checking a beat, residents reading official volume, and analysts who already know that open data lags live CAD and omits sealed or restricted records.

Questions

How many crime reports are in the Chicago index?

LocalCrimeVault indexes 410,083 Chicago Police incident reports, with extract dates from July 16, 2024 through May 30, 2026. 62,890 rows carry an arrest field and 77,122 carry a domestic field. The numbers count published police reports, not convictions, unique offenders, or a population-based crime rate.

Are Chicago crime numbers convictions?

No. The 410,083 total is a count of CPD incident records in the city's open-data portal. A report can be unfounded, reclassified, or never charged. Court outcomes live in a different system. Use this page for public police-report volume in Chicago, not for guilt or sentencing.

What dates does the Chicago extract cover?

The indexed snapshot used for this page runs from July 16, 2024 through May 30, 2026. CPD can add late-submitted rows or correct old ones, so a later harvest can move the 410,083 total. Cite the date span with the count if you republish the figure.

Where can I see Chicago offense types?

Open the Chicago crime hub for the citywide table, then use the offense-type index for IUCR primary categories that partition the same 410,083 reports. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify CPD charges. Type pages remain police-report counts, not conviction tallies.
