🎯 How is Risk Calculated?

We use weighted scoring because not all crimes pose equal risk:

  • 1 homicide is more dangerous than 10 thefts
  • 8 burglaries indicates chronic disorder, not random incidents

Crime Weights:

  • πŸ”΄ Homicide: 15 points (highest threat to life)
  • πŸ”΄ Rape/Sexual Assault: 10 points (severe violent crime)
  • 🟠 Robbery: 8 points (violent property crime)
  • 🟠 Agg. Assault (weapon): 8 points (armed violence)
  • 🟑 Aggravated Assault: 6 points (serious harm)
  • πŸ”΅ Burglary: 5 points (invasion of space)
  • πŸ”΅ Auto Theft/Felony Theft/Felony Property Damage: 2 points
  • βšͺ Shoplifting and other nonviolent crimes: 0 points

Property Crime Escalation:

When property crimes exceed 6 in 30 days, we add an extra penalty (1.5Γ— per excess crime) because frequent property crime indicates chronic neighborhood disorder.

Example: 8 burglaries = 40 base points + 3 penalty = 43 total

Risk Levels (0.5 mile radius):

  • 🟒 Low Risk: Score 0-5 points
  • 🟑 Moderate Risk: Score 6-14 points
  • πŸ”΄ High Risk: Score 15+ points

Important: The 30-day period is calculated from the most recent crime date in the dataset, not from today. This ensures accuracy even when data is delayed.

Override Rule:

Any homicide within 0.5 mile in the last 30 days β†’ automatic HIGH RISK regardless of score.

⚠️ Important Disclaimer: This tool provides a statistical overview based on reported crimes from the last 30 days. It does not predict future crime or guarantee safety. Crime data may be up to a week old or more due to delays in uploading report information to Data KC. Data does not include unreported incidents. Always use your judgment, stay aware of your surroundings, and trust your instincts. This assessment should not be the sole factor in safety decisions.
