About these scores

Scores as of

Safety Scores compare areas on a 0–100 scale; higher is safer. Scores are modeled estimates, not official crime rates or reported incident counts.

City scores combine the scored neighborhoods that lie at least partly within city limits, weighted by their estimated residents inside the limits. They are not an average of the ZIP scores listed for a city.
