Key figures

  • That is about 0.18 percent of 410,083 Chicago reports, or about one in 558.

735 is a three-digit slice of 410,083, not a rounded zero

Forest Glen’s indexed total is 735 CPD incident rows. That is smaller than many other community-area totals in the same extract and far smaller than the citywide 410,083. It is still every published row assigned here. LocalCrimeVault does not drop reports that look routine, and it does not round a three-digit count down to none. If the open file has the row and the geography matches, it is in the 735.

Because the method is a filter, the citation can stay short. Say that this index holds 735 CPD incident reports for Forest Glen inside 410,083 Chicago records, and that the figure counts reports rather than convictions. Anyone who needs the wording on a single event should open the incident table rather than converting 735 into a claim that the area is empty of reports. The table is the evidence. The headline is the filter result.

Forest Glen as a fraction of 410,083

735 is about 0.18 percent of 410,083 citywide reports, or about one in 558 published rows. Under two-tenths of one percent of a large municipal file is still hundreds of local records. Keep the fraction attached to 735 so Forest Glen neither vanishes into Chicago nor gets described as crime-free. More than 99 percent of the indexed file sits in other community areas. That is arithmetic on this extract.

0.18 percent of reports is not a per-capita rate. Population is not in this packet. A smaller raw count than another area is not a safety grade. Size, reporting practice, and land use can all move a total. The Chicago crime hub holds the 410,083-report parent. Cross-area charts should stay on that extract rather than mixing in another publisher’s table.

Does 735 mean Forest Glen is almost crime-free?
No. 735 is hundreds of published CPD reports, about 0.18 percent of 410,083 citywide records, or about one in 558. A smaller raw count than some other areas is not a per-capita rate, because population is not in the packet.
