Additional reading notes to help interpret the statistics on this page.
The largest reported categories in 2024 were homicide, each linked to its own year-specific page.
The highest-volume community areas for 2024 are listed alongside the city total so the yearly page is not just a duplicate of the overview route.
Recent incident rows for the selected year add concrete examples without forcing the page to render the full raw dataset.

Methodology and caveats
These pages summarize reported public records. Use source notes and methodology before drawing comparisons.
Reported crime data can lag the real world and may exclude the most recent days.
Case classifications can change after additional investigation or administrative review.
Map coordinates are approximate because the source data is redacted to the block level.
Counts on this site summarize reported incidents and should not be treated as a complete measure of safety.
Read the methodology page for pipeline details and the about page for source notes.
