Crimes cover the Mt. Washington neighborhood (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months. Traffic crashes and open building violations are counted within roughly a half-mile of the center. Crime is compared per resident (rate), so a large, busy area can have a high total but an average or below-average rate; crash and violation counts are compared to the average Cincinnati neighborhood. Source: City of Cincinnati open data and CAGIS. Cincinnati Police’s public crime data groups every offense that is not a Part 1 crime into a single “Part 2” category, so the violent-versus-other split understates offenses such as simple assault and weapons violations. Crime inside the University of Cincinnati and Xavier campuses is policed by campus police and is not in this feed, so those areas show crime as not covered. Open data updates on a delay, so the most recent records may be incomplete. For general information only — not legal, financial, or real-estate advice.
