Crimes cover the Columbus Park neighborhood (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months. Crime is compared per resident (rate), so a large, busy area can have a high total but an average or below-average rate; code case counts are compared to the average Kansas City neighborhood. Source: City of Kansas City, Missouri open data. KCPD publishes each report at its hundred block (the street centerline) and the City’s neighborhood outlines run along streets, so reports within about 30 meters of the outline are counted here, which means a report on a street shared by two neighborhoods counts toward both. Kansas City’s crime data is the Kansas City Police Department’s reports. The city spans four counties and borders cities with their own police departments (Independence, Raytown, Grandview, Lee’s Summit, Gladstone, North Kansas City, Liberty and others) whose reports are not included, and the Kansas side of the state line is a separate city and department. About 3% of violent-crime and sex-offense reports carry no map location and are left out, administrative entries (warrant arrests, lost property, collisions, miscellaneous investigations) are not counted as crime, and sex offenses are shown at block level (about 100 meters) without a case number. 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.
