The map below shows where people were shot in Chicago, broken down by community area. Darker shades of blue indicate greater numbers of victims in those community areas.

This data is compiled from reporting done by the Chicago Tribune Breaking News staff and is updated approximately once per month. Therefore, the most recent shootings may not be displayed immediately.

It looks like the Austin area is once again the worst of the worst when it comes to Chicago violence. Lots of very rough neighborhoods there, IIRC - Humboldt, West Garfield, etc.

Looks like the cold weather kept the numbers down early in the year, but by May and June there was some catching up to do. Some people just needed killin’.

One flaw in the numbers is that the police dept routinely reclassifies shooting and murders throughout the year, and it accelerates in December.

Will be interesting to see how the press handles the lies of statistics, without making the fairy princess look worse than he is.

The south side and the west side are the major ghetto areas of Chicago.

Though there are many other pockets of bad neighborhoods as well.

I’m not surprised to see the south side and west side so well represented in these reports.
