East Side Crime Map

East Side is an official community-area name in this index

East Side here is the city’s community-area label, not a compass direction someone might use for a different part of Chicago. The 2,340 figure follows that official geography in the CPD extract. Informal uses of “east side” as a broad region are not this slice. If a row is assigned to this community area in the open file, it is in the 2,340. If it is assigned elsewhere, it is not.

Keeping the official name in the title and H1 is how searchers who mean this community area find the right table. The numbered overlay still exists for researchers who join on area codes. Both routes index the same 2,340 reports. LocalCrimeVault does not expand East Side to match a larger regional nickname.

2,340 as part of 410,083 citywide CPD records

East Side’s 2,340 reports are about 0.57 percent of 410,083 published incidents, or about one in 175 citywide rows. Half of one percent of a large municipal file is still more than two thousand local records. Cite the share with 2,340 attached so the community area neither vanishes nor looks like its own city.

0.57 percent of reports is not a per-person rate. Population is not in the packet. The share is not a violent-crime share either, because there is no offense split in the facts. The Chicago crime hub holds the 410,083-report parent. Stay on that extract when comparing East Side with another community area.

Questions

How many CPD reports are indexed for East Side, Chicago?

East Side has 2,340 Chicago Police Department incident reports in this index, inside 410,083 citywide records from the open-data portal. The figure counts published reports for this official community area, not convictions. Read the incident table for CPD’s published fields on each row rather than inferring an offense mix from the headline.

Does “East Side” here mean the whole east half of Chicago?

No. It is the official community-area name in the CPD extract. The 2,340 total follows that geography, not a broad regional nickname. Informal “east side” talk that covers other community areas is outside this slice. Use the incident table for the assigned rows.

Are East Side’s 2,340 reports convictions?

No. They are public police incident reports. Charging and court findings sit in other files. This packet has no conviction count. Cite 2,340 as CPD open data for East Side. Quote the neighborhood total as public police reports from city open data, not as arrests, charges, or convictions.

The numbered overlay and the named East Side 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.
