Crime reports in O'Hare, Chicago

O'Hare here is a community-area label in CPD data

On this page, O'Hare is the official community-area name attached to 2,744 indexed CPD incident reports. The count follows the city’s community-area geography in the extract, not a custom map drawn around a single facility or a set of terminals. If a row’s assignment in the open file is this community area, it is in the 2,744. If the assignment is elsewhere, it is not.

That geographic rule is the same rule used for every other community area in this index. LocalCrimeVault does not re-cut O'Hare to match an operational boundary someone uses at work. Researchers who need a different polygon have to filter the incident table themselves. This headline will not pretend to be that custom filter.

2,744 inside Chicago’s 410,083-report file

O'Hare’s 2,744 reports are about 0.67 percent of 410,083 citywide incidents, or about one in 149 published rows. The share is a property of this extract. It is not a statement about passenger volume, employment, or land use, because those figures are not in the packet. It is also not a per-capita rate, because population is not in the packet.

Keep 2,744 and 410,083 in the same citation. A percentage alone hides thousands of local rows. A neighborhood total alone hides the municipal file. The Chicago crime hub is the parent for the 410,083. Comparisons across community areas should stay on that hub’s extract rather than mixing in another publisher’s airport or city table.

What the O'Hare incident table will and will not settle

The table will show CPD’s published fields for the 2,744 rows: identifiers, timestamps as stored, locations as stored, and offense text as stored. It will not settle whether a report was later unfounded, whether a charge was filed, or whether a court found anyone guilty. Those questions live in other systems. This packet has no totals from those systems.

Do not assume an offense mix from the community-area name. The packet does not break 2,744 out by type. If you need types, read the rows. Do not assume a calendar year either; the packet has no date window. Filters on the table change the view. They do not authorize a second official total unless the extract is rebuilt.

Public reports, not convictions, for O'Hare

Chicago’s Socrata release is a CPD incident product. O'Hare’s 2,744 should be quoted as police reports. Many reports never become prosecutions. This page has no conviction count because that fact is not in the packet. Substituting convictions for reports would overstate what the portal published.

Respectful copy treats O'Hare as a named geography in an open file. It does not treat the 2,744 as a list of guilty people. Location strings are departmental fields. They are not accusations written by LocalCrimeVault. Readers who need case outcomes need clerk or prosecutor sources.

O'Hare by name and by numbered overlay

The title and H1 use O'Hare, the official community-area name. The overlay URL follows the numbered geography in CPD bulk files. The named O'Hare path is the same 2,744 reports. Use the numbered route for joins and the named route for neighborhood search. The city hub holds the 410,083-report parent. Do not sum the three URLs.

Claims the O'Hare packet will not support

It will not support a typical-offense claim, a yearly trend, or a rate per person. Those need an offense split, dates, or population. It will support 2,744 CPD incident reports, a citywide denominator of 410,083, a share of about 0.67 percent, and the statement that these are public police reports rather than convictions. That is the checkable set.

O’Hare’s 2,744 is the official community-area slice in the indexed CPD extract, not a custom polygon drawn around a workplace map. If a project needs a different boundary, it has to filter rows on the incident table rather than treating 2,744 as that custom cut. Cite the official total inside 410,083 Chicago records, about 0.67 percent of the file, as public police reports. Do not infer an offense mix from the community-area name. This packet has no type split. The city hub remains the parent extract. O'Hare’s 2,744 is the official community-area total in this extract, not a custom operational polygon.

Questions

How many CPD incident reports are indexed for O'Hare?

O'Hare has 2,744 Chicago Police Department incident reports in this index, inside 410,083 citywide records from the open-data portal. The total counts published reports assigned to this community area, not convictions. Read the incident table for CPD’s published fields on each row rather than inferring an offense mix from the headline.

Is the O'Hare total a custom airport polygon?

No. On this site O'Hare is the official community-area geography in the CPD extract. The 2,744 figure follows that assignment, not a custom operational map. If you need a different boundary, filter rows on the incident table rather than treating the headline as a custom cut.

Are O'Hare’s 2,744 reports convictions?

No. They are public police incident reports. Charging and court findings sit in other files. This packet has no conviction count, so this page does not supply one. Cite 2,744 as CPD open data. Quote the neighborhood total as public police reports from city open data, not as arrests, charges, or convictions.

Where can I compare O'Hare with the rest of Chicago?

The numbered overlay and the named O'Hare page both open the community-area table. Named and numbered neighborhood URLs in this index point at the same community-area extract, not at two different counts.
