Reading the chart honestly

High raw counts in big neighborhoods are misleading. The chart below normalizes to population-share where possible and always shows the trend line so a single bad month does not redefine an area.

Push for better data

When categories shift or counts drop without a press release, it usually means a recording change rather than a real crime change. Our red-flag engine catches those gaps β€” and you can submit one we missed.
