Crime reports in Woodlawn, Chicago

South Side neighbors stay on their own pages

Woodlawn's 6,290 reports are the official community-area extract. Hyde Park, South Shore, Greater Grand Crossing, and Washington Park are different areas. None of those files is inside 6,290. Campus-adjacent geography does not create a Hyde Park-plus-Woodlawn total on this page.

The 410,083 citywide figure is the parent file. Woodlawn's 1.5 percent share is a partition of that file. It is not a statement about any university, park, or resident.

If a dashboard shows a different Woodlawn number, check whether it filtered beats, types, or dates. This headline is the unfiltered community-area assignment in the index.

CPD's community-area field is a polygon join, not a neighborhood nickname. Woodlawn's 6,290 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 6,290 headline.

Sealed, restricted, and some sensitive incident types may be missing or sparse in the public file. 6,290 is therefore a lower bound on "everything CPD ever wrote down," not an upper bound on "everything that occurred." Quote it as published reports.

Documentation versus court outcomes

6,290 Woodlawn rows are CPD incident records as released. They are not convictions. They are not a count of unique offenders. Repeat calls can exist in municipal files.

This overlay does not list graphic cases. Offense categories belong on the incident table if CPD published them. They are absent from this packet, so they are absent here.

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

6,290 ÷ 410,083 ≈ 1.5 percent. Grand Boulevard's share in this index is similar with a different raw count. Keep Bronzeville-adjacent names on separate official-area pages.

No rate is computed. Population is not in the packet.

Bookmark both URLs if you work in mixed company: reporters search the name; GIS people search the numbered path. Both resolve to the same Woodlawn extract of 6,290 reports. The Chicago hub remains the parent view for 410,083 citywide.

Citation that stays inside the extract

Woodlawn has 6,290 indexed CPD incident reports in city open data (LocalCrimeVault), of 410,083 citywide; reports not convictions; Hyde Park not included.

Using the Woodlawn table next to the city hub

The neighborhood hub lists the Woodlawn rows behind the 6,290 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 6,290, you have left the headline on purpose; say so in the caption.

The Chicago hub is the parent file of 410,083 reports. Woodlawn's about-1.5 percent share only means something against that parent. Do not paste 6,290 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. 6,290 is the indexed snapshot for Woodlawn, not a promise that a query on data.cityofchicago.org tomorrow returns the same integer.

Journalists quoting Woodlawn should resist converting 6,290 into a rank or a grade. LocalCrimeVault does not rank community areas on this page. The supported pair is 6,290 neighborhood reports and 410,083 citywide reports, with Woodlawn at about 1.5 percent of the city file. Pair that pair with the source note: CPD incidents via Socrata, indexed here, reports not convictions.
