The new stats are posted, but as usual it will take us a few more days to get everything lined up, updated and looking good. Other charts and metrics may take a month or so before there is enough data to be displayed. As such, they’ll be posted when they’re sufficiently crappy.
Thanks for your continued support.

While we consider ourselves the one of the smallest and non-consequential minnows in sea of much larger jagoffs, we do illustrate what could be considered uncomfortable facts for Non-Essentials. In light of recent wrongthink purges we’ll look to expand our minuscule alternative social media footprints over the coming months. You can find us at Parler, MeWe, Odysee, Minds and DLive. Telegram and Signal coming soon.
Say goodbye to 2020 and hello to an even worse 2021 with some framable sarcasm and tees.

Carjacking data comes directly from the CPD’s own data set, so add 20% to obtain the true numbers. Data is generally delayed by one week. Previous year data sets represent the entire year’s tally.

Ad Blockers: We do make a few pennies from ad revenue, so if you wouldn’t mind whitelisting us if you run an ad blocker that would be super.
Brave Users: click on the BAT triangle in the address bar to either send a tip or make a monthly standing contribution. If you’re not using the Brave browser, you should be.
We compile our own dataset using the following sources: Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Homicide Watch Chicago (no longer updated), DNAInfo Chicago (out of business), Chicago Redeye Homicide Tracker (no longer updated), NBC5 Chicago, Chicago Tribune’s Shooting Tracker & Homicide Tracker, Cook County Medical Examiner, CPD’s Historical Data Set, City of Chicago Data Portal, Chicago Police Department Arrest Record Search and CPD CLEARMAP.
Community areas and neighborhoods are determined by the Chicago Tribune’s Boundaries App and/or Crimeisdown.com’s most excellent Incident Map.
Editor’s note: All murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murders. We count homicides, whereas the CPD counts murders. A homicide, or a non-fatal shooting, regardless of type or by whom, within the city limits of Chicago counts towards our total metric, including anything on the expressways. CPD-involved, ISP-involved and justifiable homicides all count. Reckless homicides may count if the Medical Examiner rules that the cause of death was a homicide. Suicides do not count. Additional definitions can be found on the Glossary page.
