Public crime reporting varies across jurisdictions, which makes direct comparison difficult.
CrimeScore works with public reported-crime records and broad public location context so covered areas can be compared under one scoring convention.
Each result uses a 0 to 100 comparative scale: higher is safer. The score supports local and national comparison without claiming to predict what will happen to a person, property, or exact location.
The final score response is deliberately simple: a score, a grade, resolved geography, component scores, and metadata. Score details with contributor direction and impact are available during evaluation when enabled and on Starter and higher plans.
There are real limitations. Reported-crime records reflect reporting and enforcement patterns, not every crime that happened. Government estimates can lag rapid change, and some geographies have weaker source coverage. Block-group estimates are more local, but they can also be noisier than county-level estimates.
That is why CrimeScore should be treated as a location intelligence signal. It is useful for context, comparison, maps, and analytics. It is not a policing tool, not a personal score, and not a reason to make an adverse decision about an individual person.
