Key figures
- 16,072 Chicago CPD incidents in this index have a report date in 2025-02.
- The February total is city-wide across IUCR primary types.
- This page does not publish a weather or holiday subtotal.
- Counts are police reports, not convictions.
February membership is a date field
The 16,072 rows are incidents with report dates in 2025-02, every IUCR primary type included. This page will not convert 16,072 into a daily rate, and it will not blame the calendar length for the total, because those claims are not in the packet. The factual statement is the indexed month count.
Valentine's Day, winter storms, and school calendars are not packet subtotals. If they produced reports, those rows sit inside 16,072 when the report date is in February. Filter the overlay by date if you need a shorter window.
Report date, not occurrence date, defines the 2025-02 slice. An occurrence in January that was reported in February is in. A February occurrence reported in March is not. This packet does not quantify that lag.
February 2025 in Chicago is 16,072 indexed CPD incidents with report dates in 2025-02. Do not turn that integer into a per-day rate; this packet does not support that math. Valentine's Day and winter-storm weeks are not broken out. Community area filters will show a subset of 16,072, not a second headline. Block-level pins are coarse public geography. LocalCrimeVault does not identify households.
Geography without inventing an area ranking
Official community area names appear when CPD published them. The 16,072 headline is Chicago as a whole. Do not quote it as Austin, Near North Side, or any other single area.
Block-level pins are coarse. They are not household identifications. A February cluster on the map is a set of report locations from the public extract.
LocalCrimeVault does not impute missing community areas. Rows without geography still count toward 16,072. Filtering them out of the table will make the visible set smaller than the headline.
On the 2025-02 overlay, official community area names are the geography this Chicago index supports when CPD published them. The 16,072 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 16,072. 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 16,072 attached to Chicago as a whole for 2025-02.
