Washington Heights is not Washington Park

Two official Chicago community areas use Washington in the name. This page is Washington Heights: 4,687 indexed CPD reports. Washington Park is a different South Side area with a different extract. Mixing the names is a common error in search.

Beverly, Morgan Park, and Auburn Gresham are also separate. 4,687 includes only rows CPD coded to Washington Heights.

Citywide 410,083 reports are the parent file. Washington Heights is about 1.1 percent of that file. The share is not a rate.

CPD's community-area field is a polygon join, not a neighborhood nickname. Washington Heights's 4,687 total follows that polygon. Informal names people use for a few blocks inside the area do not get their own integer in this index. If you need a tighter geography, filter published coordinates or blocks on the table, and say that you left the 4,687 headline.

Sealed, restricted, and some sensitive incident types may be missing or sparse in the public file. 4,687 is therefore a lower bound on "everything CPD ever wrote down," not an upper bound on "everything that occurred." Quote it as published reports.

Far South Side extract, public-record tone

4,687 is documentation volume. It is not a conviction count. It is not a sketch of the people who live in Washington Heights.

This overlay does not list individual cases. Offense types belong on the incident table. Court results belong in court data.

About 1.1 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports sit in Washington Heights. That arithmetic (raw count over city total) is the only extra number this page adds to the packet. It does not become a ranking unless you compute one across every official community area yourself and show the method.
