Crimes cover the Bronzeville community area (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months. Traffic crashes and open building violations are counted within roughly a half-mile of the center. Crime is compared per resident (rate), so a large, busy area can have a high total but an average or below-average rate; crash and violation counts are compared to the typical Chicago neighborhood. Source: City of Chicago & Cook County open data. Open data updates on a delay, so the most recent records may be incomplete.
