South Lawndale Crime Map

Official name, official 6,375-row extract

South Lawndale is the official community-area name in the city's community-area system. Informal names people use for parts of this geography are not separate CPD community-area files on this site. 6,375 is the official-area total as indexed from open data.

North Lawndale is a different community area with its own page. The two Lawndales are not combined here. 6,375 is South Lawndale only.

Against 410,083 citywide reports, South Lawndale is about 1.6 percent of the index. That share is a partition of the city file, not a rate.

South Lawndale's 6,375 reports are whatever CPD published with this community-area assignment in the indexed snapshot. Beats, districts, and wards are different geographies. If a map you saw used beats, it will not match 6,375 even when the street looks familiar. Stay on the community-area table when you cite this page.

Open data is not a live dispatch feed. A scanner or a 911 tracker can show events that have not yet appeared as Socrata rows, and the reverse can also happen when CPD republishes older records. Treat 6,375 as the published extract LocalCrimeVault indexed, then re-pull if you need a new as-of date.

What the police file supports

Each of the 6,375 rows is a published CPD incident. Publication is not a conviction. Arrest and charge fields, when present, still are not court findings.

This overlay does not invent an offense mix. Use the incident table for CPD's published categories. Keep commentary about residents out of the headline number; the statistic is geographic.

The 410,083 citywide total is the only denominator this packet supports. South Lawndale's share of about 1.6 percent is comparable to other LocalCrimeVault Chicago neighborhood pages that use that same city file. It is not comparable to FBI city tables, OEMC call logs, or a vendor dashboard that used a different cut.
