DATA THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2026 · 8 MONTHS OF DATA
The 0–100 scale is calibrated to Kansas City — a typical Kansas City neighborhood sits near 55. It ranks Verona Hills against other neighborhoods here, and cannot be read against a score in another city.
Most of what's reported here is property-related — criminal damage & arson alone is 19% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.
Timing matters here: about 38% of severity-weighted incidents are reported overnight (midnight–6 a.m.), so route choice late at night matters more than the headline number suggests.

How is the Verona Hills safety index calculated?
SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Kansas City 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 Kansas City, so scores compare neighborhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
