Per-city offense rates indexed to the national figure. On every page; identical methodology in every state.
We did the work, the methodology is open, the source data is public. Your byline keeps the credit; we keep the footnote.
Composite score, per-100K rate, raw counts, year-over-year movement. One row per city. Ready for join.
Every offense’s per-100K rate is compared against the national figure. A city at the national average scores fifty.
At zero offenses, the score is one hundred. At twice the national rate, the score is zero. No proprietary weights, no curve fitting, no black-box scoring layer.
Personal (50%), property (30%), community (20%). The weights reflect what a reasonable buyer or relocator typically prioritises when reading these numbers.
A logarithmic factor keeps very small towns from dominating the top of the rankings purely on the basis of low absolute counts.
