About

When evaluating a neighborhood for a home purchase or business investment, raw police blotter numbers are insufficient. A count of 500 incidents in a small town is a crisis; in a metropolis, it is a statistical anomaly. This Actuarial Risk Engine standardizes data into the Criminological Standard of Incidents per 100,000 Residents and, more importantly, calculates your Time-Weighted Exposure.

Unlike basic calculators, this tool applies probability theory to determine the likelihood of victimization over a specific tenure (e.g., a 30-year mortgage). It also assigns a Safety Grade (A-F) and estimates the Financial Drag - the hidden cost of crime on insurance premiums and property appreciation.

Formulas

1. Standardization (Rate per 100k):
We normalize the raw count C against population P.

R100k = C × 100,000P

2. Cumulative Victimization Probability (Poisson Model):
To estimate the risk over t years, assuming crime events follow a Poisson distribution with rate λ (where λ = C/P):

P(victim) = 1 e-λt

3. Financial Drag Estimate:
We estimate the depreciation of asset value D based on the deviation from the national baseline B.

Dloss Value × ln(RB) × 0.02

Safety GradeTotal Crime Rate (per 100k)Victimization Probability (5-Yr)Interpretation
A+ (Sanctuary)0 to 1,000< 4.8%Exceptional safety. Rare incidents.
A (Very Low)1,001 to 2,0004.9% to 9.5%Well below national averages.
B (Average)2,001 to 3,5009.6% to 16%Typical suburban/urban mix.
C (Elevated)3,501 to 5,50017% to 24%Caution advised. Security systems recommended.
D (High)5,501 to 8,00025% to 33%Significant risk exposure.
F (Critical)> 8,000> 33%Statistical certainty of incident over long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most crime stats show you a snapshot of one year. The Safety Horizon uses actuarial science to calculate your cumulative risk over time. For example, a 5% annual risk becomes a 40% risk over a 10-year period. This is critical for homeowners committing to a long-term mortgage.
They effect lifestyle differently. A high Property Crime rate (burglary, car theft) impacts insurance premiums and mental peace, but rarely physical safety. A high Violent Crime rate impacts walkability and personal safety. Our "Peace of Mind" score weights these distinctions.
Econometric studies suggest a correlation between crime rates and property value suppression. For every 10% increase in crime above the national average, property values can lag by 1-2%. We provide a conservative estimate of this "unrealized gain" or value suppression.
No. The tool uses a pre-loaded database of 2022-2024 FBI UCR (Uniform Crime Reporting) aggregates and major city datasets. For specific, real-time block-level data, you should consult local police blotters.
This is our proprietary composite index (0-100). It takes the inverse of the weighted crime rate, adjusts for the user's selected lifestyle factors (e.g., owning a car increases exposure to auto theft), and normalizes it against the safest 10% of US cities.
