Boston 911 Calls

This data comes from a database curated by BARI based on records generated by the City of Boston's 911, or CAD, (i.e., computer-aided dispatch) system. BARI releases annual measures for census geographies describing the types of cases occurring in each, particularly including a set of ecometrics (i.e., neighborhood characteristics) that have been developed to measure crime, social disorder, and medical emergencies across Boston's communities. The database includes files of two types: Call Type Files, which include call-type frequencies and descriptions, and Ecometrics Files, which include ecometric indices aggregated to various spatiotemporal scales.
