Crime reports in West Garfield Park, Chicago

West Garfield Park is not East Garfield Park

The 5,680 figure is West Garfield Park only. East Garfield Park has a separate extract (a different raw count on a different page). Austin and Humboldt Park are also separate. Do not fold those files into 5,680.

West Side community-area names get collapsed in casual speech. This site does not collapse them. 5,680 is the official West Garfield Park assignment in the CPD index.

Citywide 410,083 reports are the denominator. West Garfield Park is about 1.4 percent of that file. The share is not a crime rate.

LocalCrimeVault does not adjudicate West Garfield Park incidents. The 5,680 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 5,680. Record the vintage when you republish.

Do not infer victim counts, unique offenders, or cleared-case rates from 5,680 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 records, not a character sketch

5,680 is a count of published police reports. It should not be used as a label for the people who live in West Garfield Park. Location-coded incidents are not a census.

This page does not recap individual violent cases. Type fields, if present, live on the incident table. Convictions live in court systems, not in this Socrata police extract.

Share language: West Garfield Park holds about 1.4 percent of the 410,083 indexed Chicago reports. Keep "about" in the sentence; the percentage is rounded. The exact fraction is 5,680 divided by 410,083.

1.4 percent of indexed city reports

5,680 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 1.4 percent. West Ridge has a similar share in this index with a different geography. Similar percentages are not a reason to merge pages.

Population is not in the packet. No per-capita number is offered.

For city context, step up to the Chicago crime hub. For West Garfield 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 quote both Garfield Parks

Using the West Garfield Park table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the West Garfield Park rows behind the 5,680 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 5,680, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. West Garfield Park's about-1.4 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 5,680 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. 5,680 is the indexed snapshot for West Garfield Park, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

Residents reading West Garfield Park should treat 5,680 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; West Garfield Park's about-1.4 percent share is bookkeeping inside that frame. For row details, use the incident table rather than this prose overlay.
