Portage Park Crime Map

Northwest Side area, not the park lawn only

Portage Park the community area is larger than the park of the same name. The 5,189 reports are coded to the official area, which includes residential and commercial streets around the park. This packet has no park-grounds-only filter, so 5,189 is not a count of incidents inside the park fence.

Irving Park, Jefferson Park, and Belmont Cragin are different official areas. 5,189 does not include them.

Citywide 410,083 reports are the parent extract. Portage Park's 1.3 percent share is a slice of that parent.

LocalCrimeVault does not adjudicate Portage Park incidents. The 5,189 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 5,189. Record the vintage when you republish.

Do not infer victim counts, unique offenders, or cleared-case rates from 5,189 alone. Those metrics need other fields, and many of those fields are blank or withheld in open data. The honest statistic is report volume.

Police reports as the unit

Each of the 5,189 rows is a published CPD incident. Publication is not a conviction. Clearance fields, when present, are still not court findings.

This overlay does not invent an offense mix. Use the incident table for CPD categories. Keep the headline as a geographic total.

Share language: Portage Park holds about 1.3 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports. Keep "about" in the sentence; the percentage is rounded. The exact fraction is 5,189 divided by 410,083.
