How is the Tam O'Shanter-Sullivan safety index calculated?
SafeRoute weights each incident reported to the Toronto Police Service by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the neighbourhood centre, 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 Toronto, so scores compare neighbourhoods to each other and cannot be read against another city's.
