Embeddable Crime Map

Embed a live neighborhood safety map on your website

Center a hosted safety map on listing coordinates or ZIP and market views, then select its theme, layers, and geography. Use a publishable key and optional domain restrictions; we recommend restricting production embeds to your websites.

What the map can look like on your site

Center an embedded safety map on a listing, ZIP-code guide, market page, or internal dashboard. The hosted iframe can start at a specific latitude and longitude, layer, geography, zoom level, and theme.

Use publishable keys for production customer embeds.
Restrict embeds to approved domains from the dashboard.
Show light or dark map themes without rebuilding the map stack.

API routes

What developers can call

Iframe GET /embed

Center an embed on a property or market

Use latitude, longitude, zoom, layer, geography, and theme parameters to place the hosted map where your users already evaluate location.

<iframe
  title="CrimeScore neighborhood safety map"
  src="https://crimescore.io/embed/?key=cs_pub_...&lat=40.7128&lng=-74.0060&zoom=12&layer=overall&geography=standard&theme=light"
  width="100%"
  height="520"
  style="border:0;border-radius:12px;"
  loading="lazy"
  referrerpolicy="origin"
></iframe>

Public preview GET /embed/?public=true

Preview the map before adding a key

Public preview mode is for CrimeScore-owned demo pages. Customer embeds use publishable keys. Domain restrictions are optional and recommended for production websites.

API GET /v1/score

Pair the map with backend scoring

Use the embed for visual exploration and the score API when your backend needs the same location context as structured JSON.

GET /v1/score?lat=40.7128&lng=-74.0060

{
  "safety_score": 28,
  "safety_grade": "D",
  "components": {
    "violent_crime": 24.8,
    "property_crime": 37.9,
    "disorder": 29.2,
    "frequency": 31.5
  }
}

Built for real estate and location pages

The embed widget is designed for places where users already evaluate location: property listings, neighborhood guides, market pages, investor dashboards, lead-capture pages, and internal research tools.

Instead of sending users to a separate public crime map, teams can keep the safety context inside their own website or application flow.

Property pages centered on a listing coordinate
Neighborhood pages centered on a city, ZIP, or market
Portfolio dashboards that need a visual safety layer
Lead forms where location context helps qualify interest

Configurable by URL

Publishable keys support optional domain restrictions. Leave the allowed-domain list empty for unrestricted map embeds, or add hostnames to limit where they work. Configure the map with latitude, longitude, zoom, layer, geography, and theme parameters.

That keeps setup simple for teams that want a hosted map surface without building and maintaining the map experience themselves.

Light or dark map theme
Overall, violent crime, property crime, disorder, or frequency layer
Block-group or ZIP code presentation where available
Starter watermarked embeds and Pro unwatermarked embeds

A visual layer for the score API

The embedded map uses the same national scoring layers as the API. Users can pan, zoom, and click into map features while your backend can use the score endpoint for workflow logic.

For example, a listing page can show the hosted map beside the property details while your backend stores the structured Safety Score, grade, component scores, and geography returned by the API.

Developer-friendly setup

Create a publishable key and place the iframe where you want the map to appear. An empty allowed-domain list permits any website or HTML preview tool; configured domains restrict embedding sites. We recommend adding your website domains for production. Paid tiers can reduce or remove watermark prominence depending on plan.

Keep secret keys server-side for REST API and MCP access. Browser-visible publishable keys work only for map embeds and cannot spend REST or MCP request quota.
