Criminal Trespass reports in Chicago

Presence without authority

Trespass reports record that CPD took a complaint or an officer documented someone on property without permission: CTA, retail, residential, or other locations as the row describes. Burglary requires the unlawful-entry-plus-intent structure IUCR uses for that type. A trespass row should not be rolled into burglary. This page's 9,069 count is only Criminal Trespass.

Transit, vacant-building, and storefront descriptions may appear on the table. The packet facts do not split those settings, so no CTA subtotal or retail subtotal is quoted. Filter the live table and keep CPD's wording if you need a narrower cut.

Retail trespass, transit trespass, and residential trespass can share the 9,069-row type. This packet does not split them. Filter descriptions on the overlay and keep CPD's wording. The city denominator is 410,083 incidents (trespass about 2.2 percent).

Share of the Chicago index

At about 2.2 percent of 410,083 city incidents, criminal trespass is a modest share compared with theft or battery and still large enough to show on city-wide type charts. Volume can follow property-manager calls, transit enforcement, and how often officers write the code. That is a reporting-and-enforcement mix, not a packet claim about homelessness or any other status. This page does not infer who the subjects were.

Official community area names on the rows are the city's 77 areas. Pins at commercial blocks often reflect where property was posted or where a call was taken. They are not a ranking of residents.

Burglary requires the unlawful-entry-plus-intent structure IUCR uses for that type. A trespass row should not be rolled into burglary to make a "break-in" chart look larger. LocalCrimeVault does not perform that rollup.

Reading the trespass table

Use date and community area filters on the 9,069 rows. Block-level geography is not a named tenant. Arrest flags, when present, are not convictions. Missing fields stay missing. LocalCrimeVault does not fill community area from a news clip.

Some trespass events are also charged or described with other conduct. The primary type on the public extract is still Criminal Trespass when that is what CPD published. This site does not upgrade the row to burglary or theft.

Civil no-trespass letters and eviction files are not 9,069. Quote the police-report primary type. Official community area names are the 77-area list. Pins are not identifications of unhoused people; that status is not a packet fact and is not inferred here.

Reports, not a housing or transit verdict

The 9,069 total is not a count of unique people, not an eviction series, and not a CTA ridership-crime rate. It is IUCR primary type Criminal Trespass in the harvest of 410,083 Chicago incidents. Court outcomes and civil trespass notices are outside the feed.

CPD and the City of Chicago publish the incidents. LocalCrimeVault indexes them without reclassifying charges.

Chicago hub and type overlay

The criminal trespass type hub holds the live table. The Chicago hub places these 9,069 rows beside burglary, theft, and the rest of the IUCR mix so the 2.2 percent share is visible. A cross-city trespass page follows other agencies' labels, which may sit under ordinance codes instead of IUCR.

Cite 9,069 as Chicago Police Department incident rows with IUCR primary type Criminal Trespass among 410,083 city reports (about 2.2 percent). Trespass is presence without authority as CPD coded it. Burglary is a separate type. LocalCrimeVault does not upgrade trespass rows into burglary.

Transit, retail, and vacant-building settings may appear in descriptions. This packet has one total. Publishing a CTA subtotal here would invent a number. Filter the 9,069-row table and keep CPD's wording.

Citing trespass without a burglary merge

This page does not infer housing status, age, or race of subjects. Those fields are not packet facts. Official community area names are the city's 77 areas. Pins at commercial blocks often reflect where a call was taken. They are not a ranking of residents.

Property-manager calls and officer-initiated documentation both generate rows. Volume can follow how often the code is written. Record 9,069 with the 410,083 denominator. Court outcomes and civil notices are outside the feed. An arrest flag is not a conviction.

Questions

How many criminal trespass reports are in the Chicago index?

This extract lists 9,069 Chicago incidents with IUCR primary type Criminal Trespass, about 2.2 percent of 410,083 city reports. The source is Chicago Police Department open data. The figure counts police reports, not unique people or convictions. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify CPD charges. Criminal trespass is 9,069 of 410,083 indexed Chicago incidents.

Is criminal trespass the same as burglary?

No. Trespass is presence without authority as CPD coded it. Burglary is a separate IUCR type for unlawful entry of a structure with the intent element that type uses. This page covers only the 9,069 trespass rows. Do not add them to burglary without disclosing a custom mix.

Does trespass data identify unhoused people?

No. The public extract does not provide that status in the packet facts, and this page does not infer it. The 9,069 rows are offense-type reports with block-level geography and official community areas. Treat subjects as unknown unless a field on the row states otherwise. Counts are reports, not biographies.

Does a trespass incident mean a conviction?

No. Open-data rows are reports. They can exist without an arrest or after a property owner declines to prosecute. Quote 9,069 as CPD report volume among 410,083 indexed Chicago incidents, not as a court caseload. Quote 9,069 as CPD report volume among 410,083 city incidents, not as verdicts.
