Montclare Crime Map

A mechanical Montclare count, on purpose

Mechanical counts are the ones other people can repeat. Take the indexed CPD file, keep rows assigned to Montclare, and you should land on 1,146. There is no seriousness score and no extra weight for certain codes. LocalCrimeVault does not drop reports that look minor. If the open file has the row and the geography matches, it is in the total.

Mechanical is also limited. Publication rules, geocoding, and later edits all shape 1,146. Cite it as an indexed CPD report count for Montclare inside 410,083 Chicago records. Then send anyone who needs a single event’s wording to the incident table. The table is not a different dataset; it is the 1,146 taken apart.

1,146 inside 410,083 citywide reports

Montclare’s 1,146 rows are about 0.28 percent of 410,083 published incidents, or about one in 358 citywide reports. Under three-tenths of one percent of the municipal extract still leaves more than a thousand local records. Report both numbers. A chart that shows only the percentage hides 1,146. A chart that shows only 1,146 hides Chicago.

This packet has no population, so 0.28 percent of reports is not a rate per resident. A modest raw count relative to some other community areas is still not a per-person rank. The Chicago crime hub is the parent for the 410,083. Use it when you need the rest of the file. Do not mix Montclare’s 1,146 with a different agency’s table and call the result a comparison.
