Compared against How peers are chosen →

Violent crime fell about 37% over the 12 months ending May 2026, faster than 100% of similar-size cities.

Multi-year view: violent crime fell about 2% a year from 2021 to 2026, slower than 53% of similar-size cities. The change does not yet pass the noise and consistency checks, so treat it as a raw signal.
Longer view: violent crime rose about 4% a year from 2018 to 2026.
Most recent monthly reading: 37 in May 2026, down from 59 a year earlier.

Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: green tracts improved, red tracts moved the wrong way. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim.

▸ Where is this changing? 66 census tracts
Each tract is colored and ranked by its change from 2019 to 2024, between the same two survey periods as the card above, as a share of its own starting level: blue tracts rose, orange tracts fell. Tracts marked * moved less than their own survey margin, so their color is a direction, not a claim. Hover a tract for its numbers and history, or a table row to find that tract on the map; click either for its location or its data in the Explorer.

Each tract's change uses the same two survey periods as the card above and is judged against the tract's own published margins; tracts marked * moved less than their margin.
