Search ChinatownCrimes cover the Chinatown Analysis 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 San Francisco neighborhood. Source: City and County of San Francisco open data (DataSF). SFPD’s public data omits incidents involving juveniles, reports coded confidential (including most sexual assaults), and incidents handled by other agencies such as BART Police and the U.S. Park Police, so these counts understate reported crime. 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.
