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 Overland against other neighborhoods here, and cannot be read against a score in another city.

Most of what's reported here is property-related — public order alone is 17% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.

Incidents spread across the day here — roughly 19% of severity-weighted reports come in the evening (6 p.m.–midnight) and 16% overnight.

What is the most common crime in Overland?

Public order — 64 of 375 incidents (17%) reported within 1 km of the neighborhood center over the 9 months to September 2026.

How is the Overland 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.
