West Lawn Crime Map

West Lawn’s total is a filter result

Start with the indexed CPD file. Keep rows assigned to West Lawn. The remainder is 3,053. That procedure does not ask whether a report felt serious, whether a resident would use the name West Lawn for the block, or whether a prosecutor later filed a charge. Those questions are other procedures. Mixing them into 3,053 would make the number unreproducible.

Because the procedure is a filter, the citation is short. LocalCrimeVault indexes 3,053 CPD incident reports for West Lawn inside 410,083 Chicago records. Anyone who needs the wording on a single event should open the incident table rather than expanding the headline into a narrative. The table is the 3,053 with fields attached.

3,053 relative to 410,083 citywide reports

West Lawn’s 3,053 rows are about 0.74 percent of 410,083 published incidents, or about one in 134 citywide reports. A share under one percent and a local total above three thousand can sit in the same sentence. City-scale files produce that pairing often. Dropping the city total makes 3,053 look like the whole story. Dropping 3,053 makes West Lawn look like a rounding error.

0.74 percent of reports is not a rate per resident. Population is not in this packet. The share is also not a year-specific figure, because the packet has no date window. The Chicago crime hub holds the 410,083-report parent. Stay on that hub’s extract if you compare West Lawn with another community area.

Questions

How many CPD reports are indexed for West Lawn?

West Lawn has 3,053 Chicago Police Department incident reports in this index, inside 410,083 citywide records from the open-data portal. The figure counts published reports assigned to the 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.

What share of Chicago incidents is West Lawn?

3,053 is about 0.74 percent of 410,083 citywide CPD reports, or about one in 134 rows. The percentage is a share of this extract, not a victimization survey and not a rate per resident. Population is not in the packet.

Are West Lawn’s 3,053 reports the same as convictions?

No. They are public police incident reports. Review, charging, and trial sit in other systems. This page has no conviction total because that fact is not in the packet. Cite 3,053 as CPD open data for West Lawn. Quote the neighborhood total as public police reports from city open data, not as arrests, charges, or convictions.

Where can I see West Lawn’s rows and the city file?

Use the West Lawn incident table on the community-area overlay or the named West Lawn page for the same 3,053 reports. The Chicago crime hub 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.
