Crimes cover the Howard University, Le Droit Park & Cardozo/Shaw Neighborhood Cluster (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months. Traffic crashes 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 counts are compared to the average Washington neighborhood. Source: District of Columbia open data (Open Data DC). MPD’s public crime feed publishes only nine offense categories (homicide, sex abuse, assault with a dangerous weapon, robbery, burglary, motor vehicle theft, theft from auto, other theft, and arson); simple assault, drug, weapons-possession and other offenses are not included, locations are rounded to the block, and incidents handled by federal or transit police are not MPD’s, 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.
