DATA THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2026 · 9 MONTHS OF DATA

The 0–100 scale is calibrated to Denver — a typical Denver neighborhood sits near 56. It ranks Marston 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 35% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.

Reported incidents here skew to daytime and evening hours — only about 10% of severity-weighted reports fall overnight (midnight–6 a.m.).

How is the Marston safety index calculated?

SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Denver Police Department 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 Denver, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
