Near South Side Crime Map

Near South Side is not the Loop

Near South Side is a separate official community area from the Loop and from Near North Side. The 4,306 total is this area only. A 'downtown' rollup that adds Loop plus Near South Side plus Near North Side is a custom geography, not this page.

Douglas and Armour Square are also separate. 4,306 includes only rows CPD coded to Near South Side.

Citywide 410,083 reports are the parent extract. Near South Side's 1.1 percent share is a slice of that parent.

Near South Side's 4,306 reports are whatever CPD published with this community-area assignment in the indexed snapshot. Beats, districts, and wards are different geographies. If a map you saw used beats, it will not match 4,306 even when the street looks familiar. Stay on the community-area table when you cite this page.

Open data is not a live dispatch feed. A scanner or a 911 tracker can show events that have not yet appeared as Socrata rows, and the reverse can also happen when CPD republishes older records. Treat 4,306 as the published extract LocalCrimeVault indexed, then re-pull if you need a new as-of date.

Location totals in a mixed-use area

Residential towers, parks, and event venues can sit inside one community-area boundary. This packet has no venue-only subtotal. 4,306 is the official-area report count, not a stadium-only or lakefront-only figure.

A report is not a conviction. Visitor and resident events are mixed in location-coded police data. The file does not label those groups.

The 410,083 citywide total is the only denominator this packet supports. Near South Side's share of about 1.1 percent is comparable to other LocalCrimeVault Chicago neighborhood pages that use that same city file. It is not comparable to FBI city tables, OEMC call logs, or a vendor dashboard that used a different cut.
