Crime in your Community

The table below shows how many crimes per thousand people were reported in each of Chicago's 77 community areas. (What's the difference between a neighborhood and a community area?) To the right of each per-capita number is that community area's rank. Community areas often tie for any given rank.

The Chicago Police Department uses more than 30 different classifications for crime. For ease of understanding, these pages focus on three major categories of crime in Chicago: violent crime (such as homicide), property crime (such as theft) and quality-of-life crime (such as prostitution).
