Crime reports in Hyde Park, Chicago

Community area total, not a campus-only file

Hyde Park's 4,361 reports are coded to the official community area. A university campus sits inside and beside that area, but this packet has no campus-property filter. 4,361 is not a 'campus crime' statistic. It is the CPD community-area extract.

Woodlawn, Kenwood, and Washington Park are different official areas. 4,361 does not include them. A custom 'campus neighborhood' sum would need a documented method this page does not apply.

Citywide 410,083 reports are the parent file. Hyde Park's 1.1 percent share is a partition of that file, not a rate.

LocalCrimeVault does not adjudicate Hyde Park incidents. The 4,361 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 4,361. Record the vintage when you republish.

Do not infer victim counts, unique offenders, or cleared-case rates from 4,361 alone. Those metrics need other fields, and many of those fields are blank or withheld in open data. The honest statistic is report volume.

Public police records

Each of the 4,361 rows is a published CPD incident. Student, resident, worker, and visitor events can all appear in location-coded data. The open-data file does not label those groups, so this page does not split 4,361 that way.

A report is not a conviction. University judicial processes and circuit-court outcomes are outside this extract.

Share language: Hyde Park holds about 1.1 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports. Keep "about" in the sentence; the percentage is rounded. The exact fraction is 4,361 divided by 410,083.

1.1 percent of indexed Chicago reports

4,361 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 1.1 percent. Near South Side and Lower West Side show similar shares in this index with different raw counts. Keep the names on separate pages.

No population field is present. No incidents-per-student figure is computed, because that would invent a denominator.

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

How to cite without over-claiming

Hyde Park has 4,361 indexed CPD incident reports in city open data (LocalCrimeVault), of 410,083 citywide; reports not convictions; not a campus-only total.

Using the Hyde Park table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the Hyde Park rows behind the 4,361 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 4,361, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. Hyde Park's about-1.1 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 4,361 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. 4,361 is the indexed snapshot for Hyde Park, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

Residents reading Hyde Park should treat 4,361 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; Hyde Park's about-1.1 percent share is bookkeeping inside that frame. For row details, use the incident table rather than this prose overlay.

Repeating the claim in plain language: Hyde Park has 4,361 indexed Chicago Police incident reports in LocalCrimeVault, out of 410,083 citywide, about 1.1 percent of that published file, and those rows are reports rather than convictions. That sentence is the entire numeric claim this page is built to support.
