The San Francisco Chronicle has created an interactive map that breaks down crime rates by neighborhood in the city, using data from the San Francisco Police Department. The map shows property crime and violent crime rates, as well as year-over-year changes, to provide a detailed look at public safety across different parts of San Francisco.

Why it matters

Understanding neighborhood-level crime data is crucial for policymakers, law enforcement, and residents to identify problem areas, allocate resources effectively, and develop targeted solutions to improve public safety. This map gives San Franciscans a more granular view of crime trends in their communities.

The details

The Chronicle's map uses police incident report data published on DataSF to calculate annual crime rates per 1,000 residents for each San Francisco neighborhood. Property crimes like burglary, theft, and auto theft are shown, as well as violent crimes like assault and robbery. Homicides are excluded due to confidentiality. The map also highlights year-over-year changes in crime rates, though the data can be subject to fluctuations in reporting, especially for property crimes that are often underreported.

  • The crime data is updated every six months.
  • The most recent year of data included is 2020.
