Lady,

Question on crime and neighborhood safety may best be directed to the local police or county sheriff's department. They have access to the most accurate and current information and are generally very willing to be helpful.

Good luck

Lady G,

The Chicago Police Department does post its crime statistics, but does not do so by zip code, by by Police Beats.

Go to http://www.chicagopolice.org to find out your beat, then search statistics.

Good luck,

Matt
