Mean Streets: Violent Crime in Chicago

Interactive Map

As with the other Chicago crime map, this interactive stems from my interest in the geography of urban crime. It also ties in with my Master's research, which involves examining the distribution of different crime types across Chicago community areas.

This was built in D3. The map allows users to query crime totals (assault, robbery, homicide, sexual assault, and burglary) for individual Chicago community areas. The corresponding graph shows the ranked crime totals by community area.

Interactive version available here.
