About these numbers

The city's own published statistics may differ: CBI counts some offenses once per victim, while many cities count once per case.
Reported crime reflects what is reported to police and how it is recorded, not only how much crime occurs.
Police spending here is FY2021, latest available, the government’s fiscal year; crime, clearances and staffing are calendar year 2025.
