Crime reports in Chatham, Chicago

Chatham as an official community-area extract

9,022 is the CPD incident total coded to Chatham in the indexed feed. The South Side community area is a distinct row in the city's official community-area list. Avalon Park, Greater Grand Crossing, and South Shore are not included in 9,022.

Commercial streets and residential blocks share one community-area tag in the headline. This packet has no street-level rollup, so this guide does not claim a 'main street only' number. Filter the table if you need a tighter geography the rows can support.

Citywide 410,083 reports remain the comparison frame. Chatham's 2.2 percent share is a slice of that frame.

LocalCrimeVault does not adjudicate Chatham incidents. The 9,022 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 9,022. Record the vintage when you republish.

Do not infer victim counts, unique offenders, or cleared-case rates from 9,022 alone. Those metrics need other fields, and many of those fields are blank or withheld in open data. The honest statistic is report volume.

How to state the number in public

Say: Chatham has 9,022 indexed CPD incident reports. Do not say: Chatham has 9,022 convictions. The second sentence is not supported by open police data.

Say: reports published through the city portal. Do not say: every crime that occurred. Unreported events and non-CPD matters are outside the extract. The 9,022 figure is published CPD documentation.

Share language: Chatham holds about 2.2 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports. Keep "about" in the sentence; the percentage is rounded. The exact fraction is 9,022 divided by 410,083.

2.2 percent of the city file

9,022 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 2.2 percent. Shares on this site are comparable because they share 410,083 as the city total. They are not comparable to a different agency's city count.

No rate appears here. Population is not in the packet. Adding a remembered Census figure would invent a number this contract forbids.

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

Open-data limits

Redacted coordinates, delayed publication, and later recodes all apply. 9,022 is the indexed snapshot. If you republish Chatham charts, keep the source note: CPD incidents via city open data, reports not convictions.

Using the Chatham table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the Chatham rows behind the 9,022 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 9,022, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. Chatham's about-2.2 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 9,022 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. 9,022 is the indexed snapshot for Chatham, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

Residents reading Chatham should treat 9,022 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; Chatham's about-2.2 percent share is bookkeeping inside that frame. For row details, use the incident table rather than this prose overlay.
