The Shootings Of Chicago, Block By Block (MAP)

CHICAGO — There were more than 3,400 shootings in Chicago this year, an increase of 47 percent from the year before.

While shootings spiked citywide, they were largely concentrated in just a few neighborhoods on the West and South sides.

The map below shows how many shootings occurred on each block, based on data compiled by DNAinfo from the Chicago Police Department and Illinois State Police. The larger the circle, the more shootings on the block.

About 2,700 Chicago blocks — just a fraction of the number in the city — registered a shooting in 2016. About 500 blocks had more than one shooting.

The 15 city blocks listed below had the most of any block in Chicago. All had at least five instances.

Every time I'm downtown I rattle a few rounds from my pocket onto the ground. ..

if you stay out of Chicago your chance of getting shot goes down by 99.9% it's proven to work 60% of the time every time

 

[GG Allin]

Edison Park is about as far in as I'll go anymore.

 

[FESTER665]

I remember awhile back there was talk about them cleaning up Garfield Park and trying to make it nice....

Doesn't look like they succeeded.

 

[EmersonHart13]

They are self cleaning....

Would be a beautiful house for someone, except its in the middle of a war zone and there's foreclosures for sub 40k around it.

 

[blakbearddelite]

They probably shouldn't have used 'killing' in the description.

 

[HeavyG]

dam... The West Side is just riddled in Red.....But the South Side is like almost solid Red....it's not surprise...but helps put more light on murders that occur daily.

I didnt even catch that...

Seems a tad bit higher than the comps. Did they mean $56K?

 

[ChrisRac]

2016 was the most murderous for us too. We had 32 this year.

 

[1quick]

We had a steady increase to zero murders in my town this year, that's a new record high and low, it's been steadily climbing towards that zero mark for a decade now times are tough, though we did actually have one shooting 2 years ago

 

[Kaeghl]

and I am just here thinking on facebook all of the social justice warriors would be "those facts and raw plain date is racists!!!!??!??@#@Q$??!!!!! RACIST~!!!!"

 

[importcrew]

I go to the south side all the time. I pick up and drop off wife's nieces by midway airport. Also have other family around 52nd St.

Leons BBQ is also good eating off Archer.

Love me some Leon's BBQ.

hey, if you want to be a racist piece of shit, this isn't the place

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

correlation does not equal causation.

victims and shooters being mostly black does not equal being black as the cause.

 

[EmersonHart13]

And even it if is the cause, using racist slander doesn't do anything but make it worse.

(to be clear, I agree with Jared that being african american doesn't make you prone to crime)

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

and I am just here thinking on facebook all of the social justice warriors would be "those facts and raw plain date is racists!!!!??!??@#@Q$??!!!!! RACIST~!!!!"

the problem is the lack of critical thinking skills in the general public.

"hey they said blacks cause most of these, black is the problem!"

the data is interpreted wrong and or portrayed in a negative manner that infers those stereotypes

 

[blakbearddelite]

Can someone enlighten me as to the problem? Poverty? Shitty parents? No parents? Education?

I don't agree that black people are genetically more inclined to commit crimes. But why are the predominant number of shooters and victims (in this particular example) of that persuasion?

It has to be a combination of things. My wife's family grew up in poverty, and she grew up fine. It can't be race.
