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 (689,545). 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.
