Source & interpretation
What’s behind the numbers
- Snapshot
- September 15, 2026 · imported October 4, 2026
- Measurement
- Monthly actual-offense counts reported by this agency. Not national estimates, arrests or geocoded incidents.
Aggravated assault is calculated as source assault total minus simple assault. Rape uses the source category; historical definitions require care. We do not annualize incomplete periods, generate crime rates from ZIP populations, or rank addresses by safety.
