Hermosa Crime Map

A mechanical Hermosa count, on purpose

Mechanical counts are the ones other people can repeat. Take the indexed CPD file, keep rows assigned to Hermosa, and you should land on 2,160. There is no seriousness score and no extra weight for certain codes. LocalCrimeVault does not drop reports that look minor. If the open file has the row and the geography matches, it is in the total.

Mechanical is also limited. Publication rules, geocoding, and later edits all shape 2,160. Cite it as an indexed CPD report count for Hermosa inside 410,083 Chicago records. Then send anyone who needs a single event’s wording to the incident table. The table is not a different dataset; it is the 2,160 taken apart.

2,160 inside 410,083 citywide reports

Hermosa’s 2,160 rows are about 0.53 percent of 410,083 published incidents, or about one in 190 citywide reports. Half of one percent of the municipal extract still leaves more than two thousand local records. Report both numbers. A chart that shows only the percentage hides 2,160. A chart that shows only 2,160 hides Chicago.

This packet has no population, so 0.53 percent of reports is not a rate per resident. It has no date span, so the share is not “this year’s share.” The Chicago crime hub is the parent for the 410,083. Use it when you need the rest of the file. Do not mix Hermosa’s 2,160 with a different agency’s table and call the result a comparison.

Questions

How many police reports are listed for Hermosa, Chicago?

The index lists 2,160 CPD incident reports for Hermosa. They are part of 410,083 Chicago records from the city open-data portal. The total counts published reports assigned to this community area, not convictions and not a per-capita rate. Read the incident table for CPD’s published fields on each row rather than inferring an offense mix from the headline.

What share of Chicago reports come from Hermosa?

Hermosa’s 2,160 reports are about 0.53 percent of 410,083 citywide CPD incidents, or about one in 190 published rows. That percentage describes how this extract is split. It is not a crime rate, because this packet does not include population.

Are Hermosa’s crime numbers convictions?

No. The 2,160 figure is a count of public CPD incident reports. A report can be unfounded, reclassified, or closed without a charge. Quote Hermosa’s total as police reports drawn from Chicago open data, not as guilty findings. Quote the neighborhood total as public police reports from city open data, not as arrests, charges, or convictions.

Where can I see Hermosa’s underlying rows?

Open the Hermosa incident table on the community-area overlay, or use the named Hermosa path. For citywide context, use the Chicago crime hub, which holds the parent 410,083-report index. Named and numbered neighborhood URLs in this index point at the same community-area extract, not at two different counts.
