Woodlawn Crime Map

South Side neighbors stay on their own pages

Woodlawn's 6,290 reports are the official community-area extract. Hyde Park, South Shore, Greater Grand Crossing, and Washington Park are different areas. None of those files is inside 6,290. Campus-adjacent geography does not create a Hyde Park-plus-Woodlawn total on this page.

The 410,083 citywide figure is the parent file. Woodlawn's 1.5 percent share is a partition of that file. It is not a statement about any university, park, or resident.

If a dashboard shows a different Woodlawn number, check whether it filtered beats, types, or dates. This headline is the unfiltered community-area assignment in the index.

CPD's community-area field is a polygon join, not a neighborhood nickname. Woodlawn's 6,290 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 6,290 headline.

Sealed, restricted, and some sensitive incident types may be missing or sparse in the public file. 6,290 is therefore a lower bound on "everything CPD ever wrote down," not an upper bound on "everything that occurred." Quote it as published reports.

Documentation versus court outcomes

6,290 Woodlawn rows are CPD incident records as released. They are not convictions. They are not a count of unique offenders. Repeat calls can exist in municipal files.

This overlay does not list graphic cases. Offense categories belong on the incident table if CPD published them. They are absent from this packet, so they are absent here.

About 1.5 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports sit in Woodlawn. 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.
