OUR CRIME MAPS
CrimeGrade.org collects current crime data from the federal government and uses proprietary machine learning techniques to find the safest and most dangerous places in the US. Our rich, interactive crime maps are the beautiful distillation of that official data into an accessible, intelligible and useful tool that we've made freely available to the public.

THE DATA SCIENCE BEHIND OUR INTERACTIVE CRIME MAPS
You may have noticed that our maps and statistics look different than other sites that publish crime maps statistics online. This is because CrimeGrade is able to use machine learning to break larger areas down to the census block level, enabling more precise crime maps. Unlike other sites, we're able to accurately map what crime is like near you, filling in the data gaps you'll notice elsewhere.
Our data scientists break down crime statistics into several types of crime. We focus on two main categories for crime mapping purposes: Violent and Property crime, which notably does not include drug related crimes. We publish maps for various dimensions of crime including overall violent and property crime in an area but also drill break things down by mapping murder, robbery, theft and arson etc.
Another differentiation between CrimeGrade and other crime sites is that we're able to project and map what crime will be like in the near future, in any given place, based on past trends we analyze with our proprietary AI.
