Crime rate context
Designed for people searching beyond one county-wide average
Many users search for a city or county crime rate, but then need a map that shows how local
context changes by neighborhood. CrimeScore keeps the public search simple while still
connecting visitors to county pages, ZIP pages, and API routes.
If a visitor is comparing CrimeScore with CrimeGrade, CrimeoMeter, SpotCrime, or
NeighborhoodScout, the comparison hub gives them the higher-level
product breakdown.
Product teams can review the Crime Data API, the
real-estate integration workflow, or the
embedded safety map. Our
ZIP variation report
explains why the block-group layer can add important context to a ZIP rollup.
Search by place
One national map for ZIP, address, county, and state searches
CrimeScore is built around one consistent scoring layer. Visitors can search by ZIP code
or US address, then inspect the same nationwide map used by our API and embeddable map
products. ZIP searches use Census ZCTA centers for fast public lookup, while address
searches resolve to coordinates for a more precise map view.
Scores and grades
Safety Scores are easier to compare with letter grades
Public map layers show a 0-100 modeled Safety Score, where higher is safer, with a letter grade when
score data is available. Developers can request the same score and grade through the
authenticated CrimeScore API, with ZIP/ZCTA and coordinate response shapes documented in
the playground.
Developer workflow
Move from public search to production API calls
Use the map for quick visual context, the ZIP and county directories for SEO-friendly
browsing, and the API playground when you need response examples for property, insurance,
travel, logistics, or location intelligence workflows.
