Crime reports in New City, Chicago

The official name is New City

New City is the official community-area name. Searchers often look for older informal names for parts of this Southwest Side geography. Those informal names are not extra community-area codes in the official list. The indexed total of 6,348 is the official New City extract.

Gage Park, Bridgeport, and Englewood are different official areas. 6,348 does not include them. If you need a custom Southwest Side sum, add published area totals and label the method.

The citywide 410,083 file is the parent. New City's 1.5 percent share is a slice of that parent.

A high or low raw count is not a safety grade. New City's 6,348 reports describe documentation volume inside an official boundary. Commercial corridors, arterial streets, and housing density can all raise row counts without appearing as separate columns in this packet, so they are not used here as explanations.

When you chart New City next to another community area, use the same city extract (410,083) and the same unit (incident reports). Mixing arrest counts, shooting dashboards, or 311 noise complaints into the same bar as 6,348 is a category error.

Public reports without extra story

6,348 is documentation volume from CPD open data. It is not a conviction count. It is not a roster of people. Identifiers may be missing by publication policy.

This page will not reconstruct industrial-history narratives as crime explanations. The supported facts are 6,348 neighborhood reports and 410,083 citywide reports.

New City is about 1.5 percent of indexed city reports. If that share looks small, remember the city file is 410,083 rows; a one-percent slice is still thousands of public records. If it looks large, remember it is still one official community area, not a citywide score.

1.5 percent of the city extract

6,348 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 1.5 percent. Rogers Park and East Garfield Park show similar shares in this index. Similar shares do not mean the same streets or the same file.

No rate is computed. Population is not in the packet.

The alias path /cities/chicago/neighborhood/new-city/ is not a second dataset. It exists so a searcher typing New City does not have to know the community-area integer. The canonical overlay table is /cities/chicago/neighborhood/community-area-61/.

Search disambiguation

New City is easy to confuse with 'new construction' or with other cities named New City. On this site it means Chicago community area 61, 6,348 indexed CPD reports, reports not convictions.

Using the New City table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the New City rows behind the 6,348 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 6,348, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. New City's about-1.5 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 6,348 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. 6,348 is the indexed snapshot for New City, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

Analysts who join New City to Census tracts must still start from the community-area extract of 6,348 reports. Tract-level crime is a different construction and is not this packet. Keep New City's about-1.5 percent share attached to the 410,083 city total. If a tract map and this page disagree, the geographies differ; do not force them to match.
