Brighton Park Crime Map

The Brighton Park total is a published-report tally

3,553 is the number of CPD incident records in this index that carry Brighton Park’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 3,553. 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 and limited. It 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 3,553 as an indexed CPD report count for Brighton Park, then send readers to the incident table if they need the row text. The table is not a different dataset; it is the 3,553 taken apart.

Brighton Park versus the 410,083-report city file

Citywide, the index holds 410,083 reports. Brighton Park’s 3,553 rows are about 0.87 percent of that file, or about one in 115 published incidents. A share under one percent still represents thousands of records. It also means more than 99 percent of the indexed file sits in other community areas. Both statements are just arithmetic on the same extract.

Comparisons across areas should stay on this same file. Mixing Brighton Park’s 3,553 with a different agency, a different year extract, or a UCR summary from another publisher will not match. The Chicago crime hub is the parent for this particular 410,083-row index. If a chart needs a denominator, 410,083 is the one that belongs with 3,553. This packet has no population figure, so a rate per resident is out of scope.

Questions

How many CPD reports are indexed for Brighton Park?

Brighton Park has 3,553 incident reports in the LocalCrimeVault Chicago index. The citywide file contains 410,083 CPD records from the open-data portal. 3,553 counts published police reports assigned to this community area, not convictions or a completed case tally. Read the incident table for CPD’s published fields on each row rather than inferring an offense mix from the headline.

What percentage of Chicago incidents are in Brighton Park?

3,553 is about 0.87 percent of 410,083 citywide reports, or roughly one in 115 rows. The percentage is a share of this CPD extract, not a victimization survey and not a rate per resident. Population is not part of this packet.

Can I treat Brighton Park’s 3,553 as proven crimes?

No. CPD incident reports are the department’s published records of what was reported or recorded. Review, reclassification, and court process sit outside this count. Quote the number as open police data for Brighton Park, then use the incident table if you need the offense text on each row.

How do I open Brighton Park by neighborhood name?

Use the named Brighton Park path for the neighborhood label, or the community-area overlay for the numbered geography. Both hold the same 3,553 indexed reports. The Chicago crime hub provides the 410,083-report parent file. Named and numbered neighborhood URLs in this index point at the same community-area extract, not at two different counts.
