Crime reports in East Garfield Park, Chicago

East, not West, Garfield Park

East Garfield Park and West Garfield Park are two official community areas. The 6,315 total on this page is East only. Combining the Garfield Parks without saying so produces a number this extract does not publish.

Near West Side and North Lawndale are also separate. 6,315 includes only rows CPD coded to East Garfield Park.

Citywide 410,083 reports set the denominator. East Garfield Park is about 1.5 percent of that file. The share is not a rate.

LocalCrimeVault does not adjudicate East Garfield Park incidents. The 6,315 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 6,315. Record the vintage when you republish.

Do not infer victim counts, unique offenders, or cleared-case rates from 6,315 alone. Those metrics need other fields, and many of those fields are blank or withheld in open data. The honest statistic is report volume.

A public-record tone

West Side community areas are often described in loaded language. This page uses 6,315 indexed CPD reports and stops there. It does not attach a morality narrative to the neighborhood name.

A report is not a conviction. Victims and accused persons in the rows are not material for a summary essay. Use the incident table if you need published fields, and use them carefully.

Share language: East Garfield Park holds about 1.5 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports. Keep "about" in the sentence; the percentage is rounded. The exact fraction is 6,315 divided by 410,083.

1.5 percent of indexed Chicago reports

6,315 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 1.5 percent. West Garfield Park has its own raw count on its own page. Do not average the two percentages into a fake Garfield Park region on this page.

Population is not in the packet, so no per-capita figure appears.

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

Using the East Garfield Park table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the East Garfield Park rows behind the 6,315 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 6,315, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. East Garfield Park's about-1.5 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 6,315 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. 6,315 is the indexed snapshot for East Garfield Park, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

Residents reading East Garfield Park should treat 6,315 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; East Garfield Park's about-1.5 percent share is bookkeeping inside that frame. For row details, use the incident table rather than this prose overlay.
