Vandalism - Felony ($400 & Over, All Church Vandalisms) reports in Los Angeles

What 23,182 Vandalism - Felony ($400 & Over, All Church Vandalisms) reports measure

23,182 rows use Vandalism - Felony ($400 & Over, All Church Vandalisms). LAPD put felony-threshold property damage (and the church-vandalism clause in the official string) in this bucket. The count follows that published label.

Misdemeanor vandalism is a separate category. Do not add it to 23,182 unless you are totaling all vandalism labels and you say so. The official published label is "Vandalism - Felony ($400 & Over, All Church Vandalisms)." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string. The 23,182 figure is a count of incident records, not unique people, not recovered property, and not hospital cases.

How LAPD type labels work on this feed

Every row on the Los Angeles open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from LAPD crime-code / MO category as published. LocalCrimeVault displays that field as the agency published it. If a report was written as Vandalism - Felony ($400 & Over, All Church Vandalisms), it stays under that string here even when a reader might use a shorter everyday name. This page does not split the 23,182 rows into subtypes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction and is not a UCR hierarchy rule applied after the fact. A single field event can involve more than one offense in the field; the public extract typically exposes one published type per row. Readers comparing Los Angeles to another city should match definitions: other agencies may file similar events under different statute names that never appear in this list.

Vandalism - Felony ($400 & Over, All Church Vandalisms) as a share of Los Angeles reports

Relative to 400,500 Los Angeles incidents in this extract, 23,182 reports coded Vandalism - Felony ($400 & Over, All Church Vandalisms) are about 5.8 percent of the city file. That share is a statement about how LAPD labeled the public feed, not a statement about which events matter more to a community. High-volume types dominate tables; rarer types can still be the events residents ask about first.

Keep the denominator in view: 5.8 percent of the indexed city total is not 5.8 percent of all harm in Los Angeles, and it is not a crime rate. Rates need a population or exposure denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

A Vandalism - Felony ($400 & Over, All Church Vandalisms) row means a report was taken and coded. It does not mean a prosecutor filed a charge, a judge entered a finding, or a person was identified. Treating 23,182 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes and understate how much volume in a big-city feed never reaches court. The respectful use of this page is statistical: how large is this label relative to the 400,500 Los Angeles incidents in the index.

Los Angeles Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through LA Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes that feed. If the agency later updates a record, the public count can move. This page describes the extract as harvested, not a forecast and not a neighborhood safety score.

How to read the Vandalism - Felony ($400 & Over, All Church Vandalisms) table

The type hub lists the 23,182 rows with the fields LAPD shares publicly: date, coarse location, and related attributes. Block ranges are intentionally coarse. They are not street-number addresses, and they are not proof that a named business or resident was involved. Sort and filter the table; do not treat the headline as a story.

Nothing in the 23,182 count tells you clearance, restitution, or whether property was recovered. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

Where to go next in the Los Angeles data

Use the Los Angeles type hub for the live table of these 23,182 rows. The city-wide Los Angeles hub places this label beside the rest of the published mix so the 5.8 percent share is visible in context. A cross-city view of the same type slug exists for readers who need the label outside Los Angeles; definitions still follow each agency's feed, not a recode by LocalCrimeVault.

If you are documenting a method, record the extract and the 23,182 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. A later harvest can add late-submitted reports or drop rows the agency has sealed or corrected, which is expected for a public incident feed rather than a frozen annual report.
