Despite the city\u2019s effort to combat crimes, public safety continues to be the top #1 concern of many residents in Chicago. One minute we hear the Police Department announce that the crime volume has been in decline in recent months, and the next minute we see notifications popping up on our phones about shootings and homicides (remember the four shootings on September 1st?).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To better understand the criminal activity in Chicago, we at RentHop looked into the crime data released by the Chicago Police Department, and here are our key findings: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The number of crimes reported is dropping in Chicago. In 2018, 207,425 crimes were reported by Chicagoans, 1.6% fewer than in 2017. <\/li>\n<li>In 2018, Chicago saw more property crimes than violent crimes. According to the data, over 121,000 property crimes were reported in 2018, compared to 85,707 violent crimes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fuller Park<\/strong>, among all areas, <strong>is the most dangerous neighborhood<\/strong> in Chicago, averaging 263.3 crimes per 1,000 population per year. In 2018, the neighborhood saw 306 property crimes and 266 violent crimes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Edison Park<\/strong>, on the other hand, <strong>is the safest area in Chicago<\/strong>. The neighborhood only saw 77 violent crimes and 107 crimes, which translates into <strong>15.9 crimes\/1,000 pop in 2018<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>From 2016 to 2018, 52% of violent crimes reported to the Police Department occurred between 5 am and 6 pm and 43% of property crimes were reported on weekends.<\/li>\n<li>Crime volume tend to go up slightly in summer and fall. Analyzing the crime data from 2016 to 2018, we noticed that around 36% of the crimes in the database were reported between May and August and 17% between September and October.<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s a positive correlation (roughly 30%) between the number of crimes reported and the number of units rented within a neighborhood. Put simply, the more units occupied by renters, the more crimes reported.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h5><strong>Crimes in Chicago &#8211; Where Does Your Neighborhood Stand?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div style = \"text-align:right;\">\n<a href=\"#infographic\">Skip to infographic<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The interactive map below shows the number of crimes reported by neighborhoods. The darker the shade, the higher the crime rate. Note that, in order to rank impartially, we normalized the crime data by the population count in each neighborhood. Why did we do that? Hypothetically, neighborhoods with denser populations might see more criminal activities and normalization allows us to fairly compare the number of crimes from different neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We can tell from the shades that the north part of the city appears to be safer with fewer crimes reported. However, it doesn&#8217;t look like there&#8217;s a significant correlation between crime rates and proximity to the city center. The Loop, Fuller Park, West Garfield Park, and Washington Park, among others, have more average yearly crimes per 1,000 population. Meanwhile, Forest Glen, Edison Park, and Norwood Park are some of the safest places in Chicago. The orange clusters show the locations of all crimes reported in 2018.

We found that, in Chicago, there&#8217;s a positive correlation (roughly 30%) between neighborhood crime rates and the number of rented units of all occupied housing units within a neighborhood. In other words, the more rented units there are in a neighborhood, the more crimes were reported by residents. Many scholars and research institutions have emphasized the social benefits of stable housing, and that rings true based on what we&#8217;ve found in Chicago.<\/p>\n<div style = \"width: 100%; max-width: 700px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\" align = \"center\">\n<img src = \"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/content-manager\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/crimes_renting_chicago.png\" style = \"width: 700px;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>What You Need to Know to Stay Safe<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>In addition to geographical location and relationship between crimes and renting, we also broke down reported crimes by day of the week, month, and time of the day.

Meanwhile, there seems to be a higher concentration of crimes on weekends. From 2015 to 2018, 44% of the crimes were reported on weekends.
