Washington Park Crime Map

Community area versus the park, and versus Washington Heights

Washington Park is an official community area named for the large park inside and beside it. The 4,159 reports are the area extract, not a confirmed park-grounds-only total. This packet has no park-property filter.

Washington Heights is a different Far South Side community area. 4,159 does not include Washington Heights. Searchers who mix the two names should match the page to the name they mean.

Woodlawn, Grand Boulevard, and Hyde Park are also separate. Citywide 410,083 reports remain the parent. Washington Park's 1.0 percent share is a slice of that parent.

CPD's community-area field is a polygon join, not a neighborhood nickname. Washington Park's 4,159 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 4,159 headline.

Sealed, restricted, and some sensitive incident types may be missing or sparse in the public file. 4,159 is therefore a lower bound on "everything CPD ever wrote down," not an upper bound on "everything that occurred." Quote it as published reports.

A small share, still a full public file

1.0 percent of the city extract is still 4,159 published police reports. The share does not make the table optional. It also does not make 4,159 a conviction count.

This page will not recap individual cases. Type fields belong on the incident table. Respectful use means quoting report volume with the source attached.

About 1.0 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports sit in Washington Park. 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.
