Area evidence and limitations

Public-alpha research estimate centered on Chicago's global city score. Beat variation combines weighted traveler-relevant 2025 reported crimes and reported-crime density, with robust shrinkage to limit outliers. It is not a resident, visitor or victimization rate; reporting, enforcement, land use, transit, tourism and beat size materially affect the pattern. Special beat 3100 has no matched 2025 crime rows and is held at the city score with lower confidence. Overall only; not travel advice.

Before choosing accommodation

  1. Locate your intended stay on the map and check whether that area has evidence.
  2. Read what drives the local differences. A citywide score and an area estimate answer different questions.
  3. Check current local advice and your transport options separately. These estimates cannot assess a specific hotel, street or time of day.
