Burglary police reports in Chicago

Burglary × Chicago is one IUCR join

The join keeps primary type Burglary and city Chicago. 17,300 is the only integer this packet publishes. Chicago Police Department primary type Burglary is the IUCR building-entry family on the Chicago Data Portal. Robbery is a different primary type. Theft without that entry is a different primary type. Source: municipal open-data police reports on the Chicago Data Portal, using IUCR primary types.

How CPD stores IUCR burglary

This page is not a 77-area safety ranking, an alarm log, or a conviction docket. Related published types on the same feed include Robbery, Theft, Criminal Trespass, and Other Offense. Those strings are other hubs. Adding them to 17,300 would invent a combined total the packet does not contain. Burglary in Chicago is the live overlay for this pair.

Chicago publishes this feed through the Chicago Data Portal. Chicago Police Department assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Chicago’s 77 official community areas are unpublished splits on this packet, so no community-area subtotal is quoted. Chicago crime hub places this type beside other Chicago labels without merging them.

Building entry under IUCR, not robbery

A pin on the overlay is a report location, usually a coarse block range, not a named household and not proof that a court later used the same statute. Arrest flags, when present on the source row, are not convictions. Do not fold robbery or theft into burglary. IUCR keeps those primary types apart. Forced-entry versus unlocked-entry splits are unpublished here.

Chicago Police Department primary type Burglary is the IUCR building-entry family on the Chicago Data Portal. Robbery is a different primary type. Theft without that entry is a different primary type. Do not fold robbery or theft into burglary. IUCR keeps those primary types apart. Forced-entry versus unlocked-entry splits are unpublished here. Cite 17,300 only as Burglary in Chicago. Burglary across cities shows the same type slug in other cities that publish a matching string; coding still follows each agency’s file, so those tables are not a standardized national series.

Why Chicago burglary rows are not a community-area ranking

17,300 Burglary reports in Chicago is a file statistic. It is not a rate, not a household risk score, and not a ranking of Chicago. Population, housing stock, tourist volume, and how often people call the police all move raw counts without appearing in this packet. Correlation between city and count is not causation.

A later news total that drops attempts, folds a sibling type into Burglary, or uses a different harvest window will not match 17,300. Unfounded reports can remain on the Chicago Data Portal until the source file updates. If a charging document later uses a different statute, the public incident row may not change.

What the Burglary × Chicago table omits

This packet has no population denominator, so no per-capita rate is published. It has no unique-offender count, no clearance rate, and no loss-dollar total. Chicago’s 77 official community areas are unpublished on this packet. A community-area burglary map would invent geography. Keep Chicago Police Department named when you footnote 17,300. Reports stay reports. Addresses, attempt flags, and community-area subtotals are unpublished here.

Keep the citation narrow: Burglary in Chicago, 17,300 municipal open-data police reports, Chicago Police Department coding as published, with no invented contractors, recipients, or donor names. Addresses, attempt flags, and community-area subtotals are unpublished here.

Burglary in Chicago is a pair, not a ranking of cities and not a ranking of offense types. Later portal extracts can move 17,300; prefer the live overlay when this snapshot and the table diverge.
