A busy spot: Boston Common 1,744 reports within 500 m of Boston Common. Window: Oct 2025 through Oct 2026. This secondary local example is separate from the city totals.
How to read this City rates include all ingested incidents assigned to this city in the stated 365-day window, excluding non-criminal reports; incomplete ingestion can undercount. Denominator: 2020 Census city population (675,647). National reference: FBI 2024 US rates (17.6 property and 3.6 violent per 1,000). Local incident categories differ from FBI offense definitions, including broader assault and sexual-offense categories. These are contextual comparisons across different years and reporting systems. Area rankings aggregate named source areas and count reports rather than residents; blank cells have no records. Map labels show the most frequent stored source area in each cell; unnamed cells are not ranked. Sexual offenses are excluded from hours because their times are coarsened. Monthly trends exclude partial boundary months; counts do not adjust for visitors or foot traffic. Reports reflect reporting and recording practices.
