CivicScout counts Tucson Police Department reported incidents that carry a map location, traffic collisions and open code cases inside the West University neighborhood-association outline. About 1 in 26 violent-crime reports, and 1 in 11 sexual-assault reports, carries no map location, so the counts understate violent crime and cannot show that an area has little of it. Incidents handled by the University of Arizona, South Tucson and county police departments do not appear. The University of Arizona residence halls inside this area are patrolled by the University of Arizona Police Department, so most of their incidents are not in the city feed (TPD logs about 30 reports per 1,000 residents within 150 meters of them, against about 100 citywide), and their residents are left out of the per-resident rate.
