Search SOCE NorthCrimes cover the SOCE North neighborhood association (the boundary outlined on the map), in the 90 days of reports the police publish. Crime is compared per resident (rate), so a large, busy area can have a high total but a lower rate (with fewer than 5,000 residents, the per-resident rate swings widely and also counts incidents involving people who don't live here); crash and code-enforcement case counts are compared to the average Wichita neighborhood. Source: City of Wichita open data. WPD places each report on its block’s street centerline and association outlines run along those streets (about two thirds of the reports near an outline sit within a meter of it), so reports within about 30 meters of the outline are counted here, which means a report on a street shared by two neighborhood associations counts toward both. Wichita Police publish only the most recent 90 days of reports, so there is no longer history to compare against. The feed lists reports, not only crimes: traffic crashes, mental-health calls, found and lost property, death investigations, welfare checks and suspicious-person calls are left out of these counts, and roughly 4% of the reports that would otherwise count have no offense recorded yet, so they cannot be counted. Reports without coordinates (about 0.5%) are left out, and incidents handled by other agencies, such as the Wichita State University Police, McConnell Air Force Base, Eisenhower National Airport and the neighboring cities’ police (Eastborough, Bel Aire, Park City, Derby and others) and the Sedgwick County Sheriff, do not appear. Wichita’s crash records list the date, location and kind of collision but publish no injury or fatality counts, and they include crashes with only property damage, so crash figures count recorded crashes only and say nothing about whether anyone was hurt. 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.
