How these scores work

The score ranks the 17 districts against each other. Each district's incidents over the past 90 days are weighted by how strongly they signal public-space danger, then measured two ways — per square mile of land and per 1,000 residents — and each district is ranked among the 17 on the average of those two. Higher = quieter. The two "weighted" columns are the raw inputs.
Not every incident counts equally. Shots fired and robbery carry the most weight; theft carries little; domestic incidents and narcotics cases carry the least, because they say more about relationships and police patrols than about the street outside.
Two fairness adjustments, not one. Dividing by land area keeps a large district — parks, industrial land, river flats — from looking artificially calm; dividing by residents keeps a dense district from looking dangerous just because more people live there. Blending both stops either measure from dominating.
For where you actually live, use the map. Saving an address on the dashboard scores just the area around it — within the same district, a residential street and a shopping district can be 80 points apart.

The two rightmost columns are raw incident counts, not adjusted for district size or population — the safety score is. Full methodology, including every weight →
