How is the Greenmount East 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.
