How to read this

• It shows crime reported to the police. Many crimes are never reported.
• Levels compare areas within San Francisco. The same level in another city does not mean the same.
• It is not a prediction, and it says nothing about any person or building.
• Please do not use it for decisions about housing, lending, insurance or employment.

• Locations are shown at the nearest intersection by the San Francisco Police Department.
