CrimeIndex

Precisely CrimeIndex (US) data measures the likelihood of where crime may occur by 11 crime types for all block groups in the US and Puerto Rico. The specific crime variables measured are:

Overall Crime (a composite measure based on all crime types)

Violent Crime Score<br/>• Murder<br/>• Rape<br/>• Robbery<br/>• Aggravated Assault

Property Crime Score<br/>• Burglary<br/>• Larceny-Theft<br/>• Motor Vehicle Theft<br/>• Arson

Each crime variable includes both a numerical score – where higher values denote the increased likelihood of criminal activity – and a qualitative categorization that helps explain the relative crime level when compared to the Nation as a whole. A State-wise score is also provided to allow users to perform within-State comparison of geographic areas. This set of variables (crime scores and qualitative categories) has been bundled with Block Group boundaries to create the CrimeIndex (US) data product.

Precisely defines crime according to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) definitions for crime.
