CivicScout counts Cleveland Division of Police reported offenses that carry a location across the whole Hough planning area, and open building-violation notices within a half mile of its center. About one in five recent police reports carries no offense category, so the counts understate violent crime and cannot show that an area has little of it. Reports handled by transit, campus and suburban police may not appear. CivicScout does not have current traffic crash data for Cleveland.
