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