DATA THROUGH NOVEMBER 2026 · 10 MONTHS OF DATA

The 0–100 scale is calibrated to Seattle — a typical Seattle neighborhood sits near 53. It ranks Fauntleroy 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 42% of reports — rather than violence against strangers, though the full mix below is worth a look.

Timing matters here: about 40% 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 Fauntleroy safety index calculated?

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