North Side lakefront area, one official total
Uptown's 7,093 reports are coded to the official community area, which includes lakefront and inland blocks under one CPD community-area field. This packet has no split between those settings. 7,093 is the combined official extract.
Edgewater sits north and Lake View sits south on the community-area map; both have their own pages. Do not add them to Uptown. The 7,093 figure stays here.
Citywide 410,083 reports remain the parent file. Uptown's 1.7 percent share is a partition of that file, not a safety score.
CPD's community-area field is a polygon join, not a neighborhood nickname. Uptown's 7,093 total follows that polygon. Informal names people use for a few blocks inside the area do not get their own integer in this index. If you need a tighter geography, filter published coordinates or blocks on the table, and say that you left the 7,093 headline.
Sealed, restricted, and some sensitive incident types may be missing or sparse in the public file. 7,093 is therefore a lower bound on "everything CPD ever wrote down," not an upper bound on "everything that occurred." Quote it as published reports.
Open data without a case narrative
7,093 Uptown rows are police documentation. Some will have arrests; many will not. None of the headline is a conviction tally. Court systems are separate.
Housing, hospitals, and transit inside Uptown are not broken out as subtotals in this packet. Do not attribute 7,093 to a single institution. Attribute it to the community-area tag CPD published.
About 1.7 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports sit in Uptown. That arithmetic (raw count over city total) is the only extra number this page adds to the packet. It does not become a ranking unless you compute one across every official community area yourself and show the method.
