How is the Lee-Harvard safety index calculated?
SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Cleveland Division of Police by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the neighborhood 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 Cleveland, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
