West Ridge Crime Map

Far North Side, west of Rogers Park

West Ridge is the official community area immediately west of Rogers Park on the city's map. The 5,665 total is West Ridge only. Rogers Park's extract is a different page. North Park and Lincoln Square are also separate.

Searchers sometimes say 'West Rogers Park' for part of this geography. That informal label is not a second CPD community-area code here. 5,665 follows the official West Ridge assignment.

Citywide 410,083 reports are the parent file. West Ridge's 1.4 percent share is a slice of that parent, not a rate.

West Ridge's 5,665 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 5,665 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 5,665 as the published extract LocalCrimeVault indexed, then re-pull if you need a new as-of date.

What the 5,665 rows are

They are published CPD incidents. They are not convictions. They are not a demographic profile of West Ridge. Location-coded police data should not be used as a proxy for who lives there.

Type breakdowns are not in this packet. Filter the incident table for CPD's published categories if you need them.

The 410,083 citywide total is the only denominator this packet supports. West Ridge's share of about 1.4 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.
