Crime Index

The Crime Index is a statistical measure used to estimate the overall level of crime in a specific area. It combines various types of crimes—such as theft, assault, or vandalism—into a single number or score. This helps residents, businesses, and authorities get a general sense of safety and crime trends over time. While it provides a useful snapshot, it doesn't specify particular crime types or their severity. Therefore, it should be used alongside other information to gain a comprehensive understanding of an area's safety.
