Crime reports in Rogers Park, Chicago

Community area 1 as a research key — and the name for readers

Rogers Park is community area 1, the first number in Chicago's official list. That integer matters when you join CPD bulk files that still sort by area number. For readers, the name Rogers Park is the headline. The 6,354 total is the indexed incident count for this Far North Side community area.

West Ridge sits west and Edgewater sits south on the official map; both have separate pages. 6,354 does not include them. A 'Far North Side' rollup would be a custom sum.

Citywide 410,083 reports remain the parent extract. Rogers Park's 1.5 percent share is a slice of that parent, not a rate.

CPD's community-area field is a polygon join, not a neighborhood nickname. Rogers Park's 6,354 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 6,354 headline.

Sealed, restricted, and some sensitive incident types may be missing or sparse in the public file. 6,354 is therefore a lower bound on "everything CPD ever wrote down," not an upper bound on "everything that occurred." Quote it as published reports.

Lakefront geography, one CPD tag

Rogers Park includes lakefront and inland streets under one community-area field. This packet has no beach-versus-inland split. 6,354 is the official-area total.

A police report is not a conviction. Student, resident, and visitor events can all appear in location-coded rows. The file does not label those groups, so this page does not either.

About 1.5 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports sit in Rogers Park. 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.

1.5 percent of indexed city reports

6,354 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 1.5 percent. New City and East Garfield Park have similar shares in this index with different names and different files. Do not treat similar percentages as interchangeable neighborhoods.

No population divisor is in the packet. This page stops at counts and shares.

Bookmark both URLs if you work in mixed company: reporters search the name; GIS people search the numbered path. Both resolve to the same Rogers Park extract of 6,354 reports. The Chicago hub remains the parent view for 410,083 citywide.

How to open the Rogers Park table

The numbered path and the Rogers Park name path both serve the 6,354-row extract. Use the incident table for filters. Use the Chicago hub for 410,083 citywide reports.

If a later portal query disagrees with 6,354, you are looking at a different vintage. Cite the indexed snapshot and the reports-not-convictions limit.

What this page will not add

It will not add campus-only totals, CTA-only totals, or a year label the packet does not contain. Those require filters on the table or another dataset. 6,354 is the unfiltered community-area assignment in the index.

Using the Rogers Park table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the Rogers Park rows behind the 6,354 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 6,354, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. Rogers Park's about-1.5 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 6,354 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. 6,354 is the indexed snapshot for Rogers Park, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.
