Crime reports in Roseland, Chicago

Roseland accounts for 8,938 Chicago Police incident reports in the indexed extract, out of 410,083 reports citywide. That is about 2.2 percent of the published Chicago file. CPD publishes the records on the municipal Socrata portal. LocalCrimeVault counts reports, not convictions. Readers who need Roseland in city context should keep 8,938 next to 410,083 and remember that about 2.2 percent is a rounded share of indexed CPD reports, not a crime rate and not a conviction share.

Key figures

  • Roseland has 8,938 indexed CPD incident reports (8938 of 410083).
  • Chicago's indexed total is 410,083 reports citywide.
  • Roseland is about 2.2 percent of that city file.
  • Pullman and West Pullman are not inside 8,938.
  • Figures are police reports, not convictions.

Far South Side assignment, citywide denominator

Roseland's 8,938 reports are the CPD rows tagged to this Far South Side community area. Pullman and West Pullman are separate official areas. Mixing the Pullman names into Roseland's total would misstate the extract. 8,938 is Roseland only.

The 410,083 citywide count is the parent file. Roseland's 2.2 percent share shows how much of that parent file is coded here. It is not a statement about any person who lives in Roseland.

This page will not inventory individual cases. The incident table is the place for row-level fields CPD actually published.

Roseland's 8,938 reports are whatever CPD published with this community-area assignment in the indexed snapshot. Beats, districts, and wards are different geographies. If a map you saw used beats, it will not match 8,938 even when the street looks familiar. Stay on the community-area table when you cite this page.

Open data is not a live dispatch feed. A scanner or a 911 tracker can show events that have not yet appeared as Socrata rows, and the reverse can also happen when CPD republishes older records. Treat 8,938 as the published extract LocalCrimeVault indexed, then re-pull if you need a new as-of date.

Report volume with a hard limit

8,938 is not 8,938 guilty findings. It is not 8,938 unique suspects. It is a count of incident records in open data. Clearance and charging are incomplete in this kind of file.

Unreported crime is also outside the number. Open data measures what CPD published, not the theoretical universe of events.

The 410,083 citywide total is the only denominator this packet supports. Roseland's share of about 2.2 percent is comparable to other LocalCrimeVault Chicago neighborhood pages that use that same city file. It is not comparable to FBI city tables, OEMC call logs, or a vendor dashboard that used a different cut.

About 2.2 percent of Chicago reports

8,938 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 2.2 percent. Chatham's share is in the same ballpark in this index, but the two areas remain separate files. Do not average them into a fake region.

Rates stay off this page because population is not in the packet. Cite counts and the city share, then add Census math in your own notebook if you need it.

Researchers who need row-level fields should open the incident table at /cities/chicago/neighborhood/community-area-49/ (the name alias is /cities/chicago/neighborhood/roseland/). This guide is prose about the headline count. It is not a download of the 8,938 rows and it does not add offense-type percents the packet does not contain.

Snapshot language

Write 'indexed CPD reports' rather than 'this year's crimes' unless the live table's date field supports a year cut you document. This packet does not include a year, so 8,938 is not labeled with one here.

Using the Roseland table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the Roseland rows behind the 8,938 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 8,938, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. Roseland's about-2.2 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 8,938 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. 8,938 is the indexed snapshot for Roseland, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

Roseland sits in a published police extract, not in a private RMS dump. Anyone reproducing 8,938 for Roseland should keep the city denominator of 410,083 in the same paragraph so readers can see the about-2.2 percent share. If a later index rebuild changes Roseland's integer, replace the caption rather than silently editing old charts. The unit remains a CPD incident report as released on the city portal.
