Chicago’s source-defined bands differ from other cities and are not silently split.

Coverage boundary. The file includes gunshot victims plus non-gunshot homicide victims. It is conceptually closer to New York’s shooting-victim file than Chicago’s all-incident file, but it is not identical.

READ BEFORE USING

What these numbers mean.

This dashboard reads an official public police dataset and checks it hourly. Records can change as reports are reviewed, corrected, added, or removed.

Records, geography & refresh

Record model. Each row is a reported incident. Murder records are an explicit exception: the source represents each victim separately. Records are preliminary and can be reclassified.

Map geography. The map uses Chicago’s 77 official Community Areas and block-level incident assignments. Community Areas are stable statistical geographies, not police districts.

Refresh. The City says the source updates daily and excludes the most recent seven days. This site checks it hourly and shows the latest occurrence date returned.

Interpretation. A police record is not a conviction, and a raw count is not a population-adjusted crime rate. Use the map to examine patterns inside one consistent source.
