Is there location data for each complaint? #79

I am working on a geography project around urban renewal and campaign finance, and wanted to take a look at some of the location data around complaints, but can't find location information on any of the spreadsheets (which seems strange, given that it is visualized in the website). Does this exist? Thanks!

I have the same question. I notice that the addresses in the complaint data are frequently outside of Chicago (or, sometimes, the state of Illinois). Is this the complainant's home address? See e.g., complaints-complaints_2000-2018_2018-03 or complaints-complaints.csv
