Downtown Crime Map & Reported Offense Data

Crimes cover the Downtown 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 a lower rate. Source: City of Sacramento open data and Sacramento County open data. SPD 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. Sacramento’s crime data is the Sacramento Police Department’s reports. The police publish no map location for any rape, sexual-assault or murder report or for most serious domestic-violence assaults, and a third of the feed is incident reports (including reports of robbery and assault with a weapon) that are not counted, so crime counts here understate violent crime. Reports that are not crimes (traffic collisions, probation and warrant lines, outside-agency vehicle recoveries) are not counted, and sex offenses are shown at block level (about 100 meters) without a record number. The county Sheriff polices the unincorporated areas around and inside the city, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, Folsom and West Sacramento have their own police departments, and Sacramento Executive Airport, the Sacramento State and UC Davis Medical Center campuses and Cal Expo are policed by other agencies, so none of their reports are included. The California Highway Patrol and Regional Transit police may handle incidents on highways and transit that are not in it either. 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.
