October 2025 in the indexed feed

The 20,752 figure is every indexed incident with a report date in October 2025. It is a large monthly window in this set, still a mix of property, person, and residual IUCR types rather than a single crime. Filter the table for theft or battery if that is the question. The headline remains the unfiltered mix.

Halloween and large-event dates, if they generated reports, sit inside 20,752 when the report date is in October. This packet does not include an event subtotal. Do not invent one.

October 31 rows sit inside 20,752 when the report date is in 2025-10. This page does not publish a Halloween-only figure. Filter the table for that date if needed. The headline remains the unfiltered month mix.

October 2025 has 20,752 indexed incidents with report dates in 2025-10. Halloween isolation requires a date filter. Person-crime questions require a type filter. The headline 20,752 is the unfiltered mix, not a violent-crime total.

How to read city-wide October geography

Official community area names are the city's 77-area list. The 20,752 total is not one area. Downtown, lakefront, and residential areas all contribute rows when CPD published geography. Blank-geography rows still count in 20,752 if the report date is in 2025-10.

Block-level pins are not street-number addresses. They should not be used to identify a household or a business.

Twenty thousand seven hundred fifty-two is large enough that type filters will still return substantial tables. That does not make 20,752 a violent-crime total. Person-crime types are only part of the mix.

OEMC shots-fired files can diverge from incident rows. This page is the CPD extract. Official community area names are the 77-area list. The total is city-wide. Later harvests can move 20,752. Block-level pins are not household lists. Counts are reports, not convictions.

The 20,752 mix is not a violent-crime total. Person-crime types are only part of the month. Filter homicide, robbery, or battery if those labels are the question. The headline remains the unfiltered mix.
