This dataset reflects reported incidents of crime (with the exception of murders where data exists for each victim) that occurred in the City of Chicago from 2001 to present, minus the most recent seven days. Data is extracted from the Chicago Police Department's CLEAR (Citizen Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting) system. In order to protect the privacy of crime victims, addresses are shown at the block level only and specific locations are not identified. Should you have questions about this dataset, you may contact the Research & Development Division of the Chicago Police Department at 312.745.6071 or RDAnalysis@chicagopolice.org. Disclaimer: These crimes may be based upon preliminary information supplied to the Police Department by the reporting parties that have not been verified. The preliminary crime classifications may be changed at a later date based upon additional investigation and there is always the possibility of mechanical or human error. Therefore, the Chicago Police Department does not guarantee (either expressed or implied) the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or correct sequencing of the information and the information should not be used for comparison purposes over time.

NOTE, 6/11/2020: We have significantly scaled back this dashboard for performance reasons. The underlying dataset has become large enough that, with the frequent data updates, the background processing to update the full dashboard was interfering with the dataset, itself. We hope this change will help, and that we may even be able to restore some cards to this dashboard eventually. We recommend using the "Visualize" option on the dataset to create charts. Some options there allow for categorization and filtering similar to these dashboards.

This dataset contains the historical estimated congestion for over 1,000 traffic segments, starting in approximately March 2018.

The Chicago Traffic Tracker estimates traffic congestion on Chicago’s arterial streets (non-freeway streets) in real-time by continuously monitoring and analyzing GPS traces received from Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) buses. Two types of congestion estimates are produced every 10 minutes: 1) by Traffic Segments and 2) by Traffic Regions or Zones. Congestion estimates by traffic segments gives observed speed typically for one-half mile of a street in one direction of traffic. Traffic Segment level congestion is available for about 300 miles of principal arterials.

Congestion by Traffic Region gives the average traffic condition for all arterial street segments within a region. A traffic region is comprised of two or three community areas with comparable traffic patterns. 29 regions are created to cover the entire city (except O’Hare airport area). There is much volatility in traffic segment speed. However, the congestion estimates for the traffic regions remain consistent for a relatively longer period. Most volatility in arterial speed comes from the very nature of the arterials themselves. Due to a myriad of factors, including but not limited to frequent intersections, traffic signals, transit movements, availability of alternative routes, crashes, short length of the segments, etc. Speed on individual arterial segments can fluctuate from heavily congested to no congestion and back in a few minutes.

The segment speed and traffic region congestion estimates together may give a better understanding of the actual traffic conditions.

This dataset is a listing of all current City of Chicago employees, complete with full names, departments, positions, employment status (part-time or full-time), frequency of hourly employee –where applicable—and annual salaries or hourly rate. For hourly employees, the City is providing the hourly rate and frequency of hourly employees (40, 35, 20 and 10) to allow dataset users to estimate annual wages for hourly employees. Please note that annual wages will vary by employee, depending on number of hours worked and seasonal status. For information on the positions and related salaries detailed in the annual budgets, see https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/obm.html

Historical availability of bicycles and docks to return bicycles at the Divvy stations (http://divvybikes.com/).  For the full data, see the bottom of this page or https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/eq45-8inv.

For the current list of stations, see https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/bbyy-e7gq For real-time status of stations in machine-readable format, see http://divvybikes.com/stations/json.

In the Percent Full column, N/A (denominator is zero) values are indicated by either blank or -1.

Due to a change in the data source, discussed at http://dev.cityofchicago.org/open%20data/data%20portal/2019/07/10/divvy-datasets-frozen.html, records between 7/7/2019 and 12/9/2019 are missing.

This information is derived from inspections of restaurants and other food establishments in Chicago from January 1, 2010 to the present. Inspections are performed by staff from the Chicago Department of Public Health’s Food Protection Program using a standardized procedure. The results of the inspection are inputted into a database, then reviewed and approved by a State of Illinois Licensed Environmental Health Practitioner (LEHP). For descriptions of the data elements included in this set, go to http://bit.ly/tS9IE8
Disclaimer:  Attempts have been made to minimize any and all duplicate inspection reports. However, the dataset may still contain such duplicates and the appropriate precautions should be exercised when viewing or analyzing these data. The result of the inspections (pass, pass with conditions or fail) as well as the violations noted are based on the findings identified and reported by the inspector at the time of the inspection, and may not reflect the findings noted at other times. For more information about Food Inspections, go to http://bit.ly/tD91Sb.

Taxi trips reported to the City of Chicago in its role as a regulatory agency. For the full data, see the bottom of this page or https://data.cityofchicago.org/d/wrvz-psew.

To protect privacy but allow for aggregate analyses:

- The Taxi ID is consistent for any given taxi medallion number but does not show the number.

- Census Tracts are suppressed in some cases.

- Times are rounded to the nearest 15 minutes.

Trip Total, which is used on some cards below, is the total paid, although cash tips do not appear in either that column or the Tips column.

Due to the data reporting process, not all trips are reported but the City believes that most are.

See http://digital.cityofchicago.org/index.php/chicago-taxi-data-released for more information about this dataset and how it was created.

Summary of individual Divvy bike sharing trips, including the origin, destination, and timestamps for each trip. Trips are included when there is an starting and end date.

Trips using a subscriber pass will include some basic demographic data (gender and age) that is associated with the account.  To see only subscriber trips, click the "Subscriber" column on the "Number of Trips by USER TYPE" card.

The information displayed represents a de-identified listing of arrest data from August 1, 2012 to July 31, 2016, that is used by the Chicago Police Department’s Strategic Subject Algorithm, created by the Illinois Institute of Technology and funded through a Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance grant, to create a risk assessment score known as the Strategic Subject List or “SSL.” These scores reflect an individual’s probability of being involved in a shooting incident either as a victim or an offender. Scores are calculated and placed on a scale ranging from 0 (extremely low risk) to 500 (extremely high risk).

Based on this time frame’s version of the Strategic Subject Algorithm, individuals with criminal records are ranked using eight attributes, not including race or sex. These attributes are: number of times being the victim of a shooting incident, age during the latest arrest, number of times being the victim of aggravated battery or assault, number of prior arrests for violent offenses, gang affiliation, number of prior narcotic arrests, trend in recent criminal activity and number of prior unlawful use of weapon arrests.

Please note that this data set includes fields that are not used to calculate SSL, for example, neither race nor sex are used in the Strategic Subject Algorithm. Portions of the arrest data are de-identified on the basis of privacy concerns. The attributes used in the Strategic Subject Algorithm are updated as the model is revised on an ongoing basis. The data set below will be updated periodically to reflect these revisions. 

311 Service Requests received by the City of Chicago. This dataset includes requests created after the launch of the new 311 system on 12/18/2018 and some records from the previous system, indicated in the LEGACY_RECORD column.

For purposes of all columns indicating geographic areas or locations, please note that requests of the type 311 INFORMATION ONLY CALL often are entered with the address of the City's 311 Center.

Information on TIF-funded Redevelopment Agreements (RDA) and Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) approved by City Council since the inception of the TIF program. This dataset does not include public Infrastructure projects. More information on these projects, including documentation, is provided on the Department of Planning and Development’s (DPD) TIF Portal at https://webapps1.chicago.gov/ChicagoTif.

Crash data shows information about each traffic crash on city streets within the City of Chicago limits and under the jurisdiction of Chicago Police Department (CPD). Data are shown as is from the electronic crash reporting system (E-Crash) at CPD, excluding any personally identifiable information. Records are added to the data portal when a crash report is finalized or when amendments are made to an existing report in E-Crash. Data from E-Crash are available for some police districts in 2015, but citywide data are not available until September 2017. About half of all crash reports, mostly minor crashes, are self-reported at the police district by the driver(s) involved and the other half are recorded at the scene by the police officer responding to the crash. Many of the crash parameters, including street condition data, weather condition, and posted speed limits, are recorded by the reporting officer based on best available information at the time, but many of these may disagree with posted information or other assessments on road conditions. If any new or updated information on a crash is received, the reporting officer may amend the crash report at a later time. A traffic crash within the city limits for which CPD is not the responding police agency, typically crashes on interstate highways, freeway ramps, and on local roads along the City boundary, are excluded from this dataset.

All crashes are recorded as per the format specified in the Traffic Crash Report, SR1050, of the Illinois Department of Transportation. As per Illinois statute, only crashes with a property damage value of $1,500 or more or involving bodily injury to any person(s) and that happen on a public roadway and that involve at least one moving vehicle, except bike dooring, are considered reportable crashes. However, CPD records every reported traffic crash event, regardless of the statute of limitations, and hence any formal Chicago crash dataset released by Illinois Department of Transportation may not include all the crashes listed here.

Lobbyists registered with the Chicago Board of Ethics since 2012. Due to requirements for lobbyists to re-register and the importance of showing year for most lobbying-related data, the same lobbyist often will have multiple records.

See http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/ethics/provdrs/lobby.html for more information on the Board of Ethics' role in regulating and reporting on lobbying in Chicago.

Complaints received by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability and its predecessor agency.

The (No value) bars below come from Bureau of Internal Affairs records. Other than identifying the Log Number associated with an investigation being conducted by the BIA section of the Chicago Police Department, information regarding such investigations is not included in this data set.
