About the model

Scores in Lafayette Parish come from the same gradient-boosted ensemble we ship through the CrimeScore crime data API, crime score API, and embeddable crime map. Built from normalized national location signals and validated across geography. Protected attributes are excluded from scoring, and prohibited/high-impact uses are explicitly out of scope.
