About these numbers

Crime types. Violent = homicide, criminal sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault and aggravated battery. “Include simple battery” (on by default here, unlike other pages) adds battery without a weapon or serious injury.
Stations and lines. An “L” report counts at the nearest station within 150 m (901 of 1,041 in these dates); the rest count only in the All CTA and All “L” totals. A line or part of a line adds up its stations, so a report at a station several lines share (Clark/Lake, the Loop, Roosevelt) counts on each of them. Stations outside Chicago have no CPD data.
Per ride. “1 per X rides” = one incident for every X station entries or bus rides (entries, not riders; a shared station's entries count for each line); X = 1,000,000 ÷ incidents per million. Ridership is published monthly (through Aug 31, 2026); later days use the latest 12 months' daily average. Stations under 500K entries a year are flagged “low ridership”.
Buses. A bus report is shared among routes within 50 m, weighted by ridership. Route rates need 1M+ rides a year; the route table needs 2M+.
Time of day. The first tab rates each 4-hour block per ride: CTA publishes no hourly ridership, so riders in a block are estimated as entries (or bus boardings) × that block's share of CTA trips in CMAP's My Daily Travel survey; its ⓘ note has the details. The other tabs count reports by the hour the City recorded. Unknown times are often logged at midnight or noon, which lifts those hours.
