Crime reports in Greater Grand Crossing, Chicago

Greater Grand Crossing accounts for 10,355 Chicago Police incident reports in this index, out of 410,083 reports citywide. That is about 2.5 percent of the published Chicago extract. CPD releases the rows through the city Socrata portal. LocalCrimeVault counts them as reports, not convictions.

Key figures

  • Greater Grand Crossing has 10,355 indexed CPD incident reports (10355 of 410083).
  • Chicago's indexed total is 410,083 reports citywide.
  • The area is about 2.5 percent of that city file.
  • Neighboring community areas are not included in 10,355.
  • Figures are police reports, not convictions.

The official name and the 10,355 count

Greater Grand Crossing is the official community-area name. Searchers sometimes shorten it; the table still uses the full name and the city number. 10,355 is the indexed CPD incident total for that area, not a smaller unofficial pocket.

South Side neighbors such as Chatham, Auburn Gresham, and Woodlawn have their own files. Adding those files to 10,355 would be a custom region. This page does not build that region.

The 410,083 citywide total keeps Greater Grand Crossing in city context. About 2.5 percent of indexed Chicago reports are coded here. That share is not a rate.

CPD's community-area field is a polygon join, not a neighborhood nickname. Greater Grand Crossing's 10,355 total follows that polygon. Informal names people use for a few blocks inside the area do not get their own integer in this index. If you need a tighter geography, filter published coordinates or blocks on the table, and say that you left the 10,355 headline.

Sealed, restricted, and some sensitive incident types may be missing or sparse in the public file. 10,355 is therefore a lower bound on "everything CPD ever wrote down," not an upper bound on "everything that occurred." Quote it as published reports.

No lurid overlay on the table

This guide will not list violent anecdotes. 10,355 is a count of public police reports. Readers who need type breakdowns should use the incident table's published categories. Inventing a mix would break the fact contract.

A report is not a conviction. Repeat that clause whenever 10,355 is quoted in a headline. The Socrata extract is a police file.

About 2.5 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports sit in Greater Grand Crossing. That arithmetic (raw count over city total) is the only extra number this page adds to the packet. It does not become a ranking unless you compute one across every official community area yourself and show the method.

Share of citywide CPD reports

10,355 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 2.5 percent. Other neighborhood pages on this site use the same 410,083 denominator, which is the only reason shares are comparable here.

Without population in the packet, Greater Grand Crossing does not get a per-1,000-residents figure on this page. Counts and shares are the supported statistics.

Bookmark both URLs if you work in mixed company: reporters search the name; GIS people search the numbered path. Both resolve to the same Greater Grand Crossing extract of 10,355 reports. The Chicago hub remains the parent view for 410,083 citywide.

Community area 69

Index versus the live portal

If you query data.cityofchicago.org later, you may not see 10,355. CPD republishes. LocalCrimeVault's number is the indexed snapshot used to build this packet. Record your retrieval date when you publish an analysis.

Using the Greater Grand Crossing table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the Greater Grand Crossing rows behind the 10,355 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 10,355, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. Greater Grand Crossing's about-2.5 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 10,355 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. 10,355 is the indexed snapshot for Greater Grand Crossing, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

Journalists quoting Greater Grand Crossing should resist converting 10,355 into a rank or a grade. LocalCrimeVault does not rank community areas on this page. The supported pair is 10,355 neighborhood reports and 410,083 citywide reports, with Greater Grand Crossing at about 2.5 percent of the city file. Pair that pair with the source note: CPD incidents via Socrata, indexed here, reports not convictions.
