The methodology

How the Crime Grade works

The Crime Grade turns millions of crime records into a single letter, from A+ (safest) to F. Each grade is a percentile, so an A means a place is safer than most comparable locations. Grades compare like with like: a neighborhood is measured against other neighborhoods, and a city against other cities.

Built from real reports

Records come from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports and NIBRS, state criminal justice departments, and local police, then cleaned, geocoded, and standardized into one national dataset.

Weighted by harm

Each crime is weighted by its impact on a community, drawing on peer-reviewed research (McCollister, French, and Fang, 2010). A robbery counts far more than a minor theft.

Complete coverage

Where official reporting has gaps, a validated model fills them using demographic, geographic, and historical patterns, so every area carries a grade.
