What are CRIMECAST Citywide Maps?

CRIMECAST® Citywide Maps are 3’ x 4’ color maps detailing the risk of crime for larger geographic areas. Each map covers up to a 30 x 42 mile area. Available in both electronic and paper delivery formats, CRIMECAST Citywide Maps are ideal for delivery services, home health care, executive protection, real estate planning, and general proximity applications. Citywide data can be delivered in one of two formats: Tract Maps or Contour Maps.

Tract Format

Individual census tracts are color-coded depicting the level of risk within the tract to identify the potential origin of crime or criminal behavior. These reports identify possible effects of risk on neighboring tracts as well as the level of risk within the tract itself. A tract with a score of 1200 (twelve times the national average) will greatly affect the address-specific scores within a nearby tract with a score of 150 (one and a half times the national average) due to criminal traveling patterns, justifying a more in-depth analysis of the “lower risk” property.

Contour Format

Rather than showing the underlying tract layer, a contour map scores every point on the map using our radius/threshold methodology and then welds those points together to create contours. Crime risks are identified visually using a modified version of the green, yellow and red color scheme found on a traffic light. Points presenting the lowest forecasted crime risk (CAP Index score under 100) are shaded green; areas presenting a slightly above average risk (CAP Index score between 100 and 199) are shaded yellow; and areas presenting levels considerably above average risk (CAP Index score 200 and above) are shaded in darkening hues of red.

Map Customizations

Customization of map windows and plotting of sites are both available for an extra charge.
