Summary Metrics Formula
The crime score is calculated as a weighted sum of nine different crime rates (each normalized per 100,000 population and capped at 100), where more severe crimes like homicide (35%) and shootings (25%) have higher weights than lesser crimes like bike theft (2%).

Understanding Per 100,000 Population Statistics
When enabled, crime rates are shown per 100,000 residents to allow fair comparisons between neighborhoods with different populations. The rate is calculated by: (number of incidents ÷ population) × 100,000.
This normalization helps you compare crime rates across neighborhoods, regardless of their population size.
