October 2024 as a time filter
Each of the 21,552 rows is a published police incident whose report date sits in 2024-10. Primary types are mixed. This page will not publish a violent-crime subtotal. Filter IUCR labels on the overlay if you need one type.
Halloween, fall festivals, and marathon-weekend civic calendars are not packet facts. If those days produced reports, they are inside 21,552 only when the report date is in October. Do not treat 21,552 as an event-route statistic.
Occurrence date is a separate CPD column. This harvest does not give a count of October occurrences reported later, or of earlier occurrences reported in October. Stay with report date as the membership rule for 21,552.
October 2024 in Chicago is 21,552 indexed CPD incidents with report dates in 2024-10. Halloween is not isolated. Marathon-weekend civic calendars are not isolated. The overlay is the place to date-filter. Official community area names appear when CPD published them. Summing a few areas will not reconstruct 21,552 if other rows are blank. LocalCrimeVault does not fill blanks.
Pins, community areas, and the city total
When CPD populated the community area field, the overlay shows the official name. The 21,552 headline is still Chicago as a whole. Adding a handful of areas will undershoot 21,552 if other rows are blank or filtered out.
Map pins are block-level public geography. They are not door-level identifications. A dense October cluster is a set of report locations, not a named-building accusation.
Researchers who need one official area should filter the 2024-10 table rather than quoting 21,552 as that area's volume.
On the 2024-10 overlay, official community area names are the geography this Chicago index supports when CPD published them. The 21,552 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 21,552. 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 21,552 attached to Chicago as a whole for 2024-10.
