How to read these rankings

The data covers selected reported property offenses only: burglary, larceny/theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. A city can rank low by reported property-offense rate and still have street-by-street differences, changing local conditions, or agency-boundary quirks. Use rankings as a navigation layer into the city pages and methodology, not as a final risk judgment.
