Data

We began our project by obtaining data from the Data Portal of Chicago and an ArcGIS webpage:

Data Name Source of Data
Chicago Census Tract (2012-2016) Chicago Data Guy
CTA – ‘L’ (Rail) Stations Chicago Data Portal
Major Streets Chicago Data Portal
Crimes 2016 Chicago Data Portal
Major Sporting Stadiums ArcGIS Webpage

In deciding the types of crime we wanted to analyze, we hypothesized which criminal offences would occur more frequently around transit stations and sport stadiums. We also wanted to have a varying degree of severity in terms if violence, with these factors in mind we chose to analyze the following crimes:


Criminal Damage (Raw data)


Narcotics (Raw data)


Robbery (Raw data)


Homicide (Raw data)
