How is the Ruthmeade Place safety index calculated?

SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Dallas Police Department by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last twelve months within 1 km of the neighborhood center, and normalizes against citywide 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 Dallas, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
