DATA THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2026 · 11 MONTHS OF DATA
The 0–100 scale is calibrated to Dallas — a typical Dallas neighborhood sits near 55. It ranks Mountain Creek Neighborhood against other neighborhoods here, and cannot be read against a score in another city.
Most of what's reported here is property-related — vehicle crime alone is 40% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.
Timing matters here: about 31% of severity-weighted incidents are reported overnight (midnight–6 a.m.), so route choice late at night matters more than the headline number suggests.
