Key figures
- Lincoln Square is indexed at 3,287 CPD incident reports.

- Quote the total as police reports, not as convictions.
Membership in Lincoln Square follows the CPD extract
A row is in Lincoln Square’s 3,287 if the indexed file assigns it to this community area. Informal boundaries people use in conversation do not override that assignment. An address a resident groups with a neighboring name can still sit here if CPD geocoded it into Lincoln Square. An address a resident groups with Lincoln Square can sit elsewhere if the extract says so.
That rule sounds strict because it is. Strict geography is how 3,287 stays auditable. LocalCrimeVault does not move rows to match a business-district map or a real-estate listing. If a row looks mis-placed, check the source fields on the incident table. This guide will not re-draw the area from anecdote.
3,287 as a share of 410,083 citywide reports
Lincoln Square’s 3,287 rows are about 0.80 percent of the 410,083-report city file, or about one in 125 published incidents. Under one percent of Chicago is still more than three thousand local records. Keep the fraction and the count together so the neighborhood does not vanish into the city or swell into a standalone pile.
Share of an incident extract is not a safety grade. It does not adjust for residents, workers, or visitors, because those denominators are not in the packet. It also does not say which report types drive the 3,287, because the packet has no offense split. The Chicago crime hub is the place to hold the 410,083 in view while you read Lincoln Square’s slice.

Questions
- How many crime reports are indexed for Lincoln Square?
- Lincoln Square has 3,287 CPD incident reports in the LocalCrimeVault index, out of 410,083 Chicago records from the city open-data portal. The number counts published police reports for the community area, not convictions and not a rate. Read the incident table for CPD’s published fields on each row rather than inferring an offense mix from the headline.
- Does Lincoln Square’s total follow unofficial neighborhood maps?
- No. Membership follows the community-area assignment in the CPD extract. Informal names for nearby blocks do not move rows in or out of the 3,287. If a location looks unexpected, read the published fields on the incident table rather than adjusting the headline by hand.
- Are Lincoln Square’s 3,287 reports convictions?
- No. They are public Chicago Police Department incident reports. Charging and court findings live elsewhere. This packet has no conviction count, so this page does not supply one. Cite 3,287 as open police data. Quote the neighborhood total as public police reports from city open data, not as arrests, charges, or convictions.
- Where can I see Lincoln Square next to the rest of Chicago?
- The Chicago crime hub holds the parent 410,083-report file. Lincoln Square’s 3,287 rows are about 0.80 percent of that file. The numbered overlay and the named Lincoln Square page both open the neighborhood table. Named and numbered neighborhood URLs in this index point at the same community-area extract, not at two different counts.
