Key figures

  • Forest Glen is indexed at 735 CPD incident reports.
  • That is about 0.18 percent of 410,083 Chicago reports, or about one in 558.
  • A three-digit total is still a report count, not a rounded zero.
  • Quote the count as police reports, not as convictions.

735 is a three-digit slice of 410,083, not a rounded zero

Forest Glen’s indexed total is 735 CPD incident rows. That is smaller than many other community-area totals in the same extract and far smaller than the citywide 410,083. It is still every published row assigned here. LocalCrimeVault does not drop reports that look routine, and it does not round a three-digit count down to none. If the open file has the row and the geography matches, it is in the 735.

Because the method is a filter, the citation can stay short. Say that this index holds 735 CPD incident reports for Forest Glen inside 410,083 Chicago records, and that the figure counts reports rather than convictions. Anyone who needs the wording on a single event should open the incident table rather than converting 735 into a claim that the area is empty of reports. The table is the evidence. The headline is the filter result.

Forest Glen as a fraction of 410,083

735 is about 0.18 percent of 410,083 citywide reports, or about one in 558 published rows. Under two-tenths of one percent of a large municipal file is still hundreds of local records. Keep the fraction attached to 735 so Forest Glen neither vanishes into Chicago nor gets described as crime-free. More than 99 percent of the indexed file sits in other community areas. That is arithmetic on this extract.

0.18 percent of reports is not a per-capita rate. Population is not in this packet. A smaller raw count than another area is not a safety grade. Size, reporting practice, and land use can all move a total. The Chicago crime hub holds the 410,083-report parent. Cross-area charts should stay on that extract rather than mixing in another publisher’s table.

Using the Forest Glen table as the row-level source

The overlay lists CPD’s published identifiers, timestamps, location strings, and offense text. Quote those fields as departmental labels. A location may be a block or coarser. A timestamp follows the extract. An offense string is not a jury finding. With 735 rows, a reader can inspect more of the file than in a larger area; inspection still does not create an offense-mix fact in this packet.

Filters change the window on the 735. They do not mint a second official total unless the extract is rebuilt. Join other files on source identifiers. Homemade address cleanup is a common way to lose rows that still belong in Forest Glen’s count. The named Forest Glen URL and the numbered overlay show the same slice. Pagination is a viewing tool, not a new count.

Open police data is not a conviction file

Chicago’s portal publishes CPD incidents. Clerks and prosecutors publish other files. Forest Glen’s 735 belongs to the first product. Many reports never become charges. This packet has no arrest total and no conviction total, so this page does not guess them. Calling 735 proven crimes would overstate the source. Calling 735 nothing happened would understate it.

Respectful copy names Forest Glen as a community area in an open police file. It does not treat the 735 as a roster of defendants. Locations in the table are published strings, not accusations authored by LocalCrimeVault. Readers who need dockets need dockets. Neighborhood-level writing can stay specific without turning a small total into a blank.

Forest Glen by name and by numbered overlay

This title and H1 use Forest Glen. The overlay follows the numbered community-area geography in CPD bulk files. The named Forest Glen page is the same 735 reports. Use the numbered link for spreadsheet joins and the named link for neighborhood search. The city hub remains the 410,083-report parent. Do not add the three pages together. Three URLs, one extract.

Claims the Forest Glen packet will not support

It will not support a typical-offense claim, a yearly trend, or a rate per person, including a claim that Forest Glen is the safest community area. Those need an offense split, dates, or population. It will support 735 CPD incident reports, a citywide denominator of 410,083, a share of about 0.18 percent, and the statement that these are public police reports rather than convictions. That is the checkable set. The incident table is the next document for dates and CPD descriptions.
