And for reference, Sun-times data recorded 795 homicides in 2021, so it has been a nearly 50% reduction from the pandemic peak over the past 4 years.
What's more, the 5 most violent community areas on the west side and the 5 most violent on the Southside combined for 198 homicides last year. In 2021, those same 10 areas combined for 408 homicides. |
According to the Jackass page, the homicides in Chicago in 2025 were 433, not 416.
