How is the Claremont/Armistead safety index calculated?

SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Baltimore Police Department by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the area center, and normalizes against citywide crime rates onto a 0–100 scale — higher is safer. It describes reported crime only; it is not a guarantee of safety. The scale is calibrated within Baltimore, so scores compare areas to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
