Where does this Loop safety data come from?
Directly from the City of Chicago and Cook County open-data portals, updated automatically.
Crimes cover the Loop 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. For general information only — not legal, financial, or real-estate advice.
