East, not West, Garfield Park

East Garfield Park and West Garfield Park are two official community areas. The 6,315 total on this page is East only. Combining the Garfield Parks without saying so produces a number this extract does not publish.

Near West Side and North Lawndale are also separate. 6,315 includes only rows CPD coded to East Garfield Park.

Citywide 410,083 reports set the denominator. East Garfield Park is about 1.5 percent of that file. The share is not a rate.

LocalCrimeVault does not adjudicate East Garfield Park incidents. The 6,315 figure is an index of CPD's published rows. If a row later disappears from the city portal, the live table can move while this packet still states 6,315. Record the vintage when you republish.

Do not infer victim counts, unique offenders, or cleared-case rates from 6,315 alone. Those metrics need other fields, and many of those fields are blank or withheld in open data. The honest statistic is report volume.

A public-record tone

West Side community areas are often described in loaded language. This page uses 6,315 indexed CPD reports and stops there. It does not attach a morality narrative to the neighborhood name.

A report is not a conviction. Victims and accused persons in the rows are not material for a summary essay. Use the incident table if you need published fields, and use them carefully.

Share language: East Garfield Park holds about 1.5 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports. Keep "about" in the sentence; the percentage is rounded. The exact fraction is 6,315 divided by 410,083.
