Far North Side, west of Rogers Park

West Ridge is the official community area immediately west of Rogers Park on the city's map. The 5,665 total is West Ridge only. Rogers Park's extract is a different page. North Park and Lincoln Square are also separate.

Searchers sometimes say 'West Rogers Park' for part of this geography. That informal label is not a second CPD community-area code here. 5,665 follows the official West Ridge assignment.

Citywide 410,083 reports are the parent file. West Ridge's 1.4 percent share is a slice of that parent, not a rate.

West Ridge's 5,665 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 5,665 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 5,665 as the published extract LocalCrimeVault indexed, then re-pull if you need a new as-of date.

What the 5,665 rows are

They are published CPD incidents. They are not convictions. They are not a demographic profile of West Ridge. Location-coded police data should not be used as a proxy for who lives there.

Type breakdowns are not in this packet. Filter the incident table for CPD's published categories if you need them.

The 410,083 citywide total is the only denominator this packet supports. West Ridge's share of about 1.4 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.

1.4 percent of indexed Chicago reports

5,665 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 1.4 percent. West Garfield Park's share is similar in this index; the geographies are not. Keep Far North Side and West Side files apart.

No population divisor is available in the packet, so none is used.

Researchers who need row-level fields should open the incident table at /cities/chicago/neighborhood/community-area-2/ (the name alias is /cities/chicago/neighborhood/west-ridge/). This guide is prose about the headline count. It is not a download of the 5,665 rows and it does not add offense-type percents the packet does not contain.

Community area 2

West Ridge is community area 2. Use 2 for joins next to Rogers Park's area 1. The numbered path and the West Ridge name path both open the 5,665-row table.

Browse the incident table. Use the Chicago hub for 410,083 citywide reports.

Index versus a later download

If data.cityofchicago.org returns a different West Ridge count, the vintage changed. Cite 5,665 as the LocalCrimeVault indexed total, reports not convictions.

Using the West Ridge table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the West Ridge rows behind the 5,665 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 5,665, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. West Ridge's about-1.4 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 5,665 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. 5,665 is the indexed snapshot for West Ridge, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

West Ridge sits in a published police extract, not in a private RMS dump. Anyone reproducing 5,665 for West Ridge should keep the city denominator of 410,083 in the same paragraph so readers can see the about-1.4 percent share. If a later index rebuild changes West Ridge's integer, replace the caption rather than silently editing old charts. The unit remains a CPD incident report as released on the city portal.
