Methodology and caveats

These pages summarize reported public records. Use source notes and methodology before drawing comparisons.

Reported crime data can lag the real world and may exclude the most recent days.

Case classifications can change after additional investigation or administrative review.

Map coordinates are approximate because the source data is redacted to the block level.

Counts on this site summarize reported incidents and should not be treated as a complete measure of safety.

Read the methodology page for pipeline details and the about page for source notes.
