Key figures
- 21,795 Chicago CPD incidents in this index have a report date in 2024-09.

- This page does not publish a back-to-school subtotal.
- Counts are police reports, not convictions.
September membership is a date field
The 21,795 rows are incidents with report dates in 2024-09, every IUCR primary type included. This page will not convert 21,795 into a daily rate. The factual statement is the indexed month count.
Labor Day, school-year openings, and fall festival calendars are not packet subtotals. If they produced reports, those rows sit inside 21,795 when the report date is in September. Filter the overlay by date if you need a shorter window.
Report date, not occurrence date, defines the 2024-09 slice. An occurrence in August that was reported in September is in. A September occurrence reported in October is not. This packet does not quantify that lag.
September 2024 in Chicago is 21,795 indexed CPD incidents with report dates in 2024-09. Labor Day and school-year openings sit inside 21,795 only when the report date is in September. Campus-adjacent pins are report locations, not a campus-crime subtotal. IUCR labels are CPD's. This month page does not recode them. Use a type hub when you need one primary type across many months.
Geography without an area ranking
Official community area names appear when CPD published them. The 21,795 headline is Chicago as a whole. Do not quote it as Hyde Park, Near West Side, or any other single area.
Campus-adjacent and transit pins, if they appear denser after school resumes, are report locations from the public extract. They are not a packet fact about campus crime. Block-level pins are not household identifications.
LocalCrimeVault does not impute missing community areas. Rows without geography still count toward 21,795. Filtering them out of the table will make the visible set smaller than the headline.
On the 2024-09 overlay, official community area names are the geography this Chicago index supports when CPD published them. The 21,795 headline is not Austin, not Near North Side, and not any other single official area. Researchers who need one area should filter the table and caption the subset as a subset. Block-level coordinates, when present, are offset public-record locations. They do not identify a resident, a school, or a storefront by street number. CPD incident rows can lack an area; those rows still sit inside 21,795. LocalCrimeVault does not impute a community area to complete a pin map. Festival-corridor or lakefront density, if you observe it after sorting, is a table observation about report locations, not a packet fact about event crime. Keep 21,795 attached to Chicago as a whole for 2024-09.
