How to read this

It shows crime reported to the police. Many crimes are never reported.
Levels compare areas within Seattle. 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 generalized to the hundred block by the Seattle Police Department.
Seattle publishes no location for about 45% of assault reports, so violent crime is under-represented on this map.
