Crime reports in Belmont Cragin, Chicago

Northwest Side extract at 6,904 reports

Belmont Cragin's total is the CPD incident count for this official community area. Hermosa, Portage Park, and Dunning are different areas. 6,904 does not include them. Keep Northwest Side names on their own pages.

The dual name Belmont Cragin is the official label. Searchers who type only 'Belmont' may land on other geographies; this file is the community area as CPD coded it, 6,904 reports.

Citywide 410,083 reports set the scale. About 1.7 percent of that file is tagged here. The share is not a per-capita rate.

LocalCrimeVault does not adjudicate Belmont Cragin incidents. The 6,904 figure is an index of CPD's published rows. If a row later disappears from the city portal, the live table can move while this packet still states 6,904. Record the vintage when you republish.

Do not infer victim counts, unique offenders, or cleared-case rates from 6,904 alone. Those metrics need other fields, and many of those fields are blank or withheld in open data. The honest statistic is report volume.

Police reports as public records

6,904 Belmont Cragin rows are published CPD incidents. They are not convictions. They are not a list of people this site accuses. Identifiers may be withheld under CPD publication rules.

Type mixes are not in the packet. If you need burglary versus theft, use the incident table's published categories. Do not guess from the headline.

Share language: Belmont Cragin holds about 1.7 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports. Keep "about" in the sentence; the percentage is rounded. The exact fraction is 6,904 divided by 410,083.

Share of the 410,083 city reports

6,904 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 1.7 percent. Lincoln Park and Uptown show similar shares in this index with different raw counts. Similar percentages do not authorize merging neighborhoods.

Population is omitted from the packet, so this page omits rates. Cite 6,904 and 410,083, then add your own denominator in a separate calculation if you need one.

For city context, step up to the Chicago crime hub. For Belmont Cragin rows, stay on the neighborhood table. This guide exists so the headline is not mistaken for a conviction dashboard or a victimization survey.

Index snapshot

6,904 is the LocalCrimeVault snapshot, not a promise about tomorrow's portal query. CPD recodes locations. Keep the source note when you reuse the figure: city open data, reports not convictions.

Using the Belmont Cragin table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the Belmont Cragin rows behind the 6,904 total. Sort and filter there for dates and published CPD type codes. This packet has no type mix, so this guide will not invent one. If a type filter reduces the table below 6,904, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. Belmont Cragin's about-1.7 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 6,904 into a story that already used a different city total. Pair the two integers, name CPD open data, and keep the reports-not-convictions clause on the same screen as the number.

If you export rows, you are still looking at police reports. Geocodes may be offset to a block. Some addresses are blank. Community-area assignment can change when CPD repairs a location. 6,904 is the indexed snapshot for Belmont Cragin, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

Residents reading Belmont Cragin should treat 6,904 as a public inventory of police documentation, not as a personal risk score. Household risk depends on time, place, and many events that never become rows. The city file of 410,083 reports is the frame; Belmont Cragin's about-1.7 percent share is bookkeeping inside that frame. For row details, use the incident table rather than this prose overlay.

Repeating the claim in plain language: Belmont Cragin has 6,904 indexed Chicago Police incident reports in LocalCrimeVault, out of 410,083 citywide, about 1.7 percent of that published file, and those rows are reports rather than convictions. That sentence is the entire numeric claim this page is built to support.
