September 2025 as a report-date window
The 19,856 rows are incidents with report dates in September 2025. School-year timing and Labor Day, if they affected calls, are not broken out. This packet has one number. Quote 19,856 as the indexed month total, then filter the table if you need a single week or type.
Primary types remain CPD's. The month page does not promote September as a "back to school crime" series. That framing would need fields this packet does not contain.
Labor Day, if it produced reports, sits inside 19,856 when the report date is in September 2025. This page does not publish a holiday subtotal. School-adjacent geography is not identified as such in the packet facts and is not inferred.
September 2025 has 19,856 indexed incidents with report dates in 2025-09. Labor Day isolation requires a date filter. School-adjacent geography is not a packet field and is not inferred. Do not treat 19,856 as a school safety score.
City-wide mix
Official community area names (77 areas) appear when CPD published them. The 19,856 headline is Chicago as a whole. Near North Side, South Shore, Austin, and every other area that has rows contribute only their own subset. Blank geography still counts in the city-wide total when the report date is in 2025-09.
Block-level pins are not door addresses. Do not treat the map as a list of residents or schools.
The 19,856 mix is unfiltered. Do not treat September as a school-year crime index. Filter the overlay for a type or a day. LocalCrimeVault does not recode CPD charges.
