Fifty alderpeople, fifty slices of the city. Search by name or neighborhood, shade the map by what you care about, and open any ward for its full dashboard — or look up your address to find yours.
Live from the Chicago Data Portal (crimes, 311, building permits, business licenses, traffic crashes, ward offices), refreshed hourly. Ranks compare all 50 wards; 1st is the highest value, which isn’t always the worst. Crashes, Divvy docks and affordable units are assigned to wards by their coordinates. Last-month bars are hatched because the month isn’t over.
