The Archer Heights total is a published-report tally
1,918 is the number of CPD incident records in this index that carry Archer Heights’s community-area assignment. It is not an estimate, a survey, or a newsroom count of major crimes. If CPD’s extract includes a row for the area, it is in the 1,918. If a row was never published or was assigned elsewhere, it is not. LocalCrimeVault does not score seriousness and does not drop rows that look minor.
That mechanical rule is useful because anyone can return to the same open-data source. It is limited because publication rules, geocoding, and later edits all shape the total. Cite 1,918 as an indexed CPD report count for Archer Heights, then send readers to the incident table if they need the row text. The table is the 1,918 taken apart, not a second dataset.
Archer Heights versus the 410,083-report city file
Citywide, the index holds 410,083 reports. Archer Heights’s 1,918 rows are about 0.47 percent of that file, or about one in 214 published incidents. A share under half a percent still represents nearly two thousand records. It also means more than 99 percent of the indexed file sits in other community areas. Both statements are arithmetic on the same extract.
Comparisons across areas should stay on this same file. Mixing Archer Heights’s 1,918 with a different agency or a UCR summary from another publisher will not match. The Chicago crime hub is the parent for this 410,083-row index. If a chart needs a denominator, 410,083 is the one that belongs with 1,918. This packet has no population figure, so a rate per resident is out of scope.
