How is the Scripps Miramar Ranch safety index calculated?
SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the San Diego Police Department by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the community 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 San Diego, so scores compare communities to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
