CrimeScore: GPS Safety Rating
CrimeScore is a GPS enabled app that calculates a composite score based on the amount of crime in your immediate area.
-- Long press select to turn high-crime location alerts on and off.
-- Flick your wrist to toggle the numeric score and letter grade.
CrimeScore rating uses a propriety methodology based on address-level open data crime reports, weighted for type of crime, recency, and proximity, then adjusted by neighboring CrimeScore ratings, and finally statistically standardized across a bell curve based on all the CrimeScores across a city, updated daily.
Our nationwide crime rating for your location is available in the following cities, with more being added soon.
San Francisco, CA
Washington, DC
Anchorage, AK
Louisville, KY
Miami, FL
Fort Worth, TX
Chicago, IL
Seattle, WA
Indianapolis, IN
Albuquerque, NM
Richmond, VA
Cincinnati, OH
Atlanta, GA
The Pebble app uses the YourMapper CrimeScore API and was built by Jeremy Lambert of STIdeas at http://stideas.us/
