The Irvine Laboratory for the Study of Space and Crime (ILSSC) in the Department of
Criminology, Law and Society at the University of California, Irvine is dedicated to researching
the social ecology of crime at all levels of analysis including street segments, blocks,
neighborhoods, cities, counties, and metropolitan areas. Together with our collaborators and
community partners, our team seeks to generate high quality scientific research on the space-
crime nexus, and to foster intellectual exchange among faculty, graduate students, and
undergraduate students at the University of California, Irvine, as well as members of the larger
community. The team studies: 1) Foundational issues, including the dynamics of urban crime,
the micro-environment of crime, and the role of local institutional resources for fighting crime;
2) Enduring challenges, including inequality, concentrated poverty and concentrated affluence,
urban processes such as economic redevelopment and gentrification, and trends in immigration
and other demographic population shifts; 3) Contemporary challenges, including the housing
crisis and foreclosures, the spatial clustering of multiple social problems, and the continuous
cycling of offenders in and out of prison and on and off of supervision. The ILSSC is a subsidiary
of the Metropolitan Futures Initiative (MFI).

Chapter 1. Introduction Methodology
This is the third annual Crime Report for Southern California. In these annual reports, we use
data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program to describe the level of crime in cities
located in the Southern California region. It is well-known that these data underestimate the actual
amount of crime. This occurs because some crime events are not reported by citizens or detected by
the police. The crime data can also be inaccurate if the police classify some non-crime events as crimes,
or if they code some crime events as non-crimes. Despite these limitations, UCR data is generally
recognized as the best data source available for tracking crime trends in U.S. cities.
In our report, we examine the six most serious types of crime: homicide; aggravated assault;
robbery; burglary; motor vehicle theft; and larceny.1 For the analysis, we analyzed the level of crime for
all cities in the region with a population size of at least 4,000. We use this value given that cities with
very small populations can have excessive crime rates even with very few crime events. The Southern
California region is an area that includes 196 cities in the following counties: 1) Los Angeles; 2) Orange;
3) Riverside; 4) San Bernardino; 5) San Diego; 6) Ventura; 7) Imperial. The region contains 21.7 million
people.
We present results for cities with the top 10 levels of each crime type, cities with the bottom 10
levels of each crime type, and the top 10 increases and top 10 decreases in each crime type. The last
part of the report presents results for each county one at a time.
Throughout the report, we have standardized the crime rates to facilitate comparisons between
cities within the Southern California region. We refer to these as standardized crime rates. We first
compute the crime rate by dividing the number of crimes by the most recent estimate of the population
in the city. We standardize this value, and therefore a city that has a crime rate at the average value for
the region as a whole will have a standardized crime rate value of 100. Cities with standardized crime
rates greater than 100 are cities with crime rates greater than the average for the entire region;
likewise, cities with standardized crime rates less than 100 are cities with crime rates that are below the
average of the region. For example, a city with a value of 150 for the standardized aggravated assault
rate measure has 50% more aggravated assaults than the average of the region in that year. And a city
with a value of 60 has an aggravated assault rate that is only 60% as large as that of the average of the
region (or, we might say their aggravated assault rate is 40% less than the average of the region).
Violent crime combines aggravated assaults, robberies, and homicides. Property crime combines
burglaries, motor vehicle thefts, and larcenies.
1 We do not include rape in the analyses. Definitional differences, as well as policy differences, can lead to
differences in the reported level of rapes across cities that do not represent true difference in the level of this type of crime. Other crimes are less dependent on such reporting decisions.
2
In several cases in the report, we computed the crime rate averaged over a 3-year period (2013-
15). This is done to smooth out possible random year-to-year fluctuations in crime that might occur.
While some year-to-year changes in crime reflect true change in the city, others can be due to
idiosyncratic events in a particular year. These 3-year moving averages adjust for these fluctuations.
For computing the change in overall violent or property crime rates, we compute the difference
in these standardized crime rates.
This year we have added a new section (part of Chapter 2), that adjusts the crime rates based on
the demographic characteristics of the city. Thus, these rankings adjust the level of crime based on
certain demographic characteristics that criminologists are well aware are related to levels of crime in
cities. These adjusted values show the level of crime above what might be expected for a city with the
socio-demographic characteristics of the particular city.
This year we have added another new section (Chapter 4), that makes a forecast of the expected
violent and property crime rate for the cities in Southern California. We used a statistical model that
allows us to make forecasts of the level of violent crime and property crime in the Southern California
cities next year (2017). Our statistical models take into account the level of crime in these cities over the
last 15 years, and how it has been changing, to make forecasts of how much violent and property crime
there will be in these cities next year. We assessed the quality of our model on crime data from 1970 to
2010, and found that the average correlation between our projection of the property crime rate and the
actual property crime rate was .89 over these prior years. The average correlation of our violent crime
projection with the actual level was .95 over these prior years. So our model appears to do a reasonable
job projecting crime levels forward in time. Nonetheless, we caution the reader that the forecasts for
individual cities have a confidence interval around the predicted value.

Overview of results The main findings of the analysis are:
San Bernardino has the highest violent crime rate in 2015
Commerce has the highest property crime rate in 2015
Villa Park has the lowest violent crime rate in 2015
Imperial has the lowest property crime rate in 2015
Yucca Valley has experienced the largest increase in violent crime from 2014-2015
Adelanto has experienced the largest increase in violent crime in the last 5 years
Lynwood has experienced the largest increase in violent crime in the last 10 years
Signal Hill has experienced the largest increase in property crime in the last year
Big Bear Lake has experienced the largest increase in property crime in the last 5 years, and the
last 10 years
Compton has the largest decrease in violent crime from 2014-2015
Murrieta has experienced the largest decrease in violent and property crime in the last 5 years
Riverside has experienced the largest decrease in violent crime in the last 10 years
Coronado has the largest decrease in property crime from 2014-2015
Victorville has experienced the largest decrease in property crime in the last 10 years
Our forecast model projects an average decrease in violent crime across cities of 21% in 2017,
and 11% for property crime
Our forecast model projects violent crime decreasing in 82% of the cities in the region, and
property crime decreasing in 79% of the cities in the region

Chapter 2. Violent and property crime
Top 10 cities with cities with highest violent or property crime rates in 2015
In 2015, the highest violent crime rate was in San Bernardino. The adjusted violent crime rate of
362 indicates that whereas the average city in the region had a violent crime rate of 100, San
Bernardino’s rate was 262% higher than the average (362 – 100 = 262). It should be noted, that in
December of 2015, San Bernardino suffered a major terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 14 people.
Barstow had the second highest violent crime rate, 247% higher than the average city in the
region. Eight of the ten top violent cities were in either Los Angeles or San Bernardino counties. None of
the top ten violent cities were located in Orange County, Imperial County, or Ventura County. Below we
display the population of each city below to give a sense of the city size.
Commerce had the highest property crime rate in 2015, with almost 270% more property crime
than the average city in the region. The cities with the highest property crime rates come from four of
the six counties in the region. Three cities appear in the top 10 list for both violent and property crime:
Commerce, San Bernardino, and Hemet.
Below we present maps showing which cities have the highest or lowest adjusted violent or
property crime rates (averaged from 2013-15). In these maps, the cities with the highest crime rates are
shown in red, the second highest are in orange, the third highest are in yellow, those with the second
lowest are shown in green, and those with the lowest are shown in blue.

Top 10 cities with highest violent and property crime rates averaged over
2013-2015
These lists show the cities with the highest crime rates, averaged over the last three years
(2013-15). This takes into account unusual yearly fluctuations. This list shows that Lynwood had the
highest violent crime rate, with 269% more violent crime than the average city in the region over the
last three years.
Commerce had the highest average property crime rate over the last three years (nearly 160%
more property crime than the average city in the region), as well as one of the higher violent crime
rates. Big Bear Lake, Compton, Signal Hill and Desert Hot Springs also had some of the highest violent
and property crime rates over the last three years.

Top 10 cities with lowest violent or property crime rates in 2015
These lists show the 10 cities with lowest violent or property crime in 2015. Villa Park in Orange
County had the lowest violent crime rate (just 4.8% as high as the average city in the region). Several
other Orange County cities also had very low violent crime rates: Irvine, Yorba Linda, and Aliso Viejo.
Several Los Angeles County cities had very low violent crime rates: La Habra Heights, Palos Verdes
Estates, and Calabasas.
Imperial had the lowest property crime rate in 2015. Several cities are among the lowest in both
violent and property crime: La Habra Heights, Imperial, Yorba Linda, Canyon Lake, and Aliso Viejo.
The only city with an over 200,000 person population on these lists was Irvine.

Adjusted Crime rates based on city characteristics
Whereas we have been presenting crime rates for cities, in this section we adjust these rates for the characteristics of the city. That is, criminologists are well-aware that cities with certain characteristics typically have higher rates of crime. For example, cities with high levels of poverty tend to have higher rates of crime. Therefore, in this section we adjust the level of crime in the city for a number of these characteristics.
Specifically, we adjust for the following city-level characteristics: 1) percent aged 16 to 29 (the most crime-prone population); 2) the racial/ethnic composition (percent Asian, percent black, percent Latino, and the level of racial/ethnic heterogeneity); 3) the percent immigrants; 4) the average household income; 5) the level of income inequality; 6) the unemployment rate; 7) the percent aged 16 to 19 who are drop outs from school; 8) residential stability (the average length of residence for renters, and for owners); 9) percent vacant units; 10) the ratio of adults to children (a measure of social control); 11) the population density of the city; 12) the population of the city; 13) the average age of the housing stock.
We are therefore adjusting the level of crime for these factors; this is somewhat analogous to adjusting school performance scores based on the demographic composition of the school. Thus, a city that is particularly advantaged based on these demographic characteristics, and yet has an average level of crime, would actually have a relatively high adjusted level of crime, given that the level of crime is higher than would be expected based on the city’s demographic characteristics.
So we might refer to this as the unexpected level of crime. That is, these are cities that have either much higher levels of violent or property crime than we might have expected based on their socio-demographic characteristics, or much lower levels of violent or property crime than expected. Why cities might differ from what is expected could be due to a number of different reasons. We are not able to determine why these cities differ from expectations.
Top 10 cities with highest adjusted violent or property crime rates in 2015
There are notable differences between the list in this section and the earlier ones that did not
adjust for the city characteristics. For example, we earlier saw that San Bernardino had the highest
violent crime rate in the region. However, this list shows that when we adjust for the socio-structural
characteristics of San Bernardino that make it more vulnerable to violence, it in fact is not among the
ten highest violent crime cities in the region. Likewise, other high violent cities overall such as Big Bear
Lake (#3), Compton (#4), and Desert Hot Springs (#5), are not among the highest violent crime cities
after taking into account the city’s characteristics.
Instead, we see that whereas Yucca Valley has the tenth highest violent crime rate in the region
in 2015, it has the highest level of violence after taking into account city characteristics. And the
14
relatively affluent beach cities of Manhattan Beach, Laguna Beach, and Del Mar have relatively high
adjusted violent crime rates compared to what we would expect given the characteristics of these cities.
For property crime, there is more overlap among the top 5 on this list and for the earlier
unadjusted list, as four of the five cities are near the top for both lists (Del Mar is the exception, as it has
an unexpectedly high property crime rate). The relatively advantaged cities of Hermosa Beach and
Fountain Valley have relatively high property crime rates after adjusting for city characteristics.

Top 10 cities with highest adjusted violent and property crime rates averaged
over 2013-2015
When assessing the cities with the highest average crime rates over the last 3 years, we see that
four of the top five cities from the unadjusted list do not appear on this list (only Desert Hot Springs is
the exception). After adjusting for the city composition, Lynwood, Adelanto, Commerce, and Los
Angeles do not appear among the highest violent crime cities over the last three years.
Based on these adjusted rates, relatively advantaged cities such as Los Alamitos and Beverly Hills
have the highest unexpected average violent crime rates over the last three years. Beach communities
such as Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Hermosa Beach also appear on this list.
We see many of the same cities with the highest adjusted property crime rates, including
Hermosa Beach, Los Alamitos, and Beverly Hills. And cities such as Commerce and Big Bear Lake, which
topped the unadjusted property crime 3-year list do not appear on this list.

Top 10 cities with lowest adjusted violent or property crime rates in 2015
Whereas Villa Park and Imperial had the lowest unadjusted violent crime rates in 2015, they also
have the lowest adjusted rates. However, cities such as Palos Verde Estates and Irvine do not appear on
this list of lowest violent crime rates after adjusting for city characteristics that are related to lower
violence levels.
The cities of Monrovia and Maywood in Los Angeles County have the 3rd and 4th lowest violent
crime rates, after adjusting for their city characteristics.
The cities of Imperial and Rancho Santa Margarita were on the top ten lowest unadjusted
property crime list and also appear here after adjusting for city characteristics. However, the cities of
Aliso Viejo and Canyon Lake were among the lowest unadjusted property crime rates, but do not appear
on this list after adjusting for city characteristics. The cities of Santa Paula, Sierra Madre, and Imperial
Beach all appear on this list after not appearing on the list of lowest unadjusted property crime rates in
2015.

Top 10 cities with lowest adjusted violent and property crime rates averaged
over 2013-2015
There are sharp differences between this list of lowest adjusted violent crime rates over the last
three years and the earlier unadjusted rates. The top 5 cities from the unadjusted list do not appear
here. Instead, the very small city of Holtville has the lowest adjusted violent and property crime rate
over the last three years, after taking into account the city’s characteristics. And the small city of
Calimesa in Riverside County ranks among the lowest adjusted violent crime rates over the last three
years. The big cities (over 100,000 population) of Rialto, Inglewood, and Temecula all appear the top 5
cities for lowest unadjusted violent crime rates.
18
The cities with the lowest adjusted property crime rates over the last year tend to be smaller
cities. The exceptions are Rancho Santa Margarita and Lake Forest (both above 50,000 population),
which have low adjusted property crime rates. Relatively disadvantaged cities such as Lawndale,
Maywood, and Twentynine Palms appear among the cities with the lowest average property crime rate
over the last three years, after adjusting for city characteristics.

Chapter 3. Change in Violent and Property Crime in last 10 years
Top 10 cities with biggest increases in violent crime in last 1, 5, and 10 years
These tables focus on the cities showing the biggest increase in violent crime in recent years. We display three tables: 1) Top 10 with the biggest increase in the last year (2012-2015; 2) Top 10 with the biggest increase in the last five years; 3) Top 10 with the biggest increase in the last ten years.
We also present maps throughout this section, and the following section, showing which cities
have experienced the largest changes in standardized crime rates over the last five years. In these
maps, the cities with the largest increases are shown in red, the second largest are in orange, the third
largest are in yellow, those with the second largest decrease are shown in green, and those with the
largest decreases are shown in blue.
In the last year, Yucca Valley experienced the largest increase in their violent crime rate. They
went from about 17% above the regional average to 102% above the regional average in the last year.
But this is a recent jump, as they do not appear on the top ten lists for the last 5 years or the last 10
years.
Signal Hill has experienced a large increase in violent crime rate over the last 5 years and the last
10 years, but does not appear on the list for the most recent year.
Lynwood has seen the largest increase in violence over the last 10 years—going from 113%
above the regional average to 269% greater.
None of the top 10 cities with largest increase in violent crime in last 5 years appear in the top
10 cities with largest increase in violent crime rate from 2012–2015. Nine of the top 10 cities with
largest increase in violent crime rate from 2012–2015 were a change from the recent years as they are
not included in the list of cities experiencing large increases in the last 5 or 10 years.
Desert Hot Springs is among the largest gainers in violence in the last 10 years and from 2012–
2015.
The largest increases in violent crime over the last 5 years and last 10 years have typically
occurred in cities in San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles counties. Four cities from San
Bernardino County appeared on the list as having large increases in the last 5 years and last 10 years.
Five cities from Riverside County appeared on the list as having large increases in the last 5 years and
last 10 years. Ten cities from Los Angeles County appeared on the list as having large increases in the
last 5 years and last 10 years.

Top 10 cities with biggest increases in property crime in last 1, 5, and 10 years
These next tables look at the cities with the biggest increase in property crime. Signal Hill
experienced the largest increases in property crime over the last year. Signal Hill also experienced large
increases in property crime in the last 5 years, and the last 10 years. In the last 10 years, they have gone
from a city about 26% above the region average in property crime to one 127% higher than the average
(averaged over the last 3 years). In the last 5 years, they have gone from a city about 11% below the
region average in property crime to one 127% higher than the average (averaged over the last 3 years).
In the last year their property crime rate increased to 160% above the regional average. Signal Hill is #1
over the last year, #4 over the last 5 years, and #3 over the last 10 years.
In last year’s Report, Palm Springs was the city with one of the largest increases in property
crime. This year Palm Springs does not appear on the top 10 list for the most recent year, or the most
recent 5 or 10 years. Costa Mesa has seen a large spike in property crime in the last year, going from
60% below the regional average to 61% above the average. However, this may simply be a spike, as they
do not appear on the lists over the last 5 or 10 years. Signal Hill is the only city that continues to
experience property crime increases.
Although Big Bear Lake has experienced a large increase over the last 10 years to go from a 52%
above average level in 2003 to almost 140% above the average, they do not appear on the list for the
most recent year. However, Big Bear Lake is the #1 increase in property crime over the last 5 years and
the last 10 years.
El Centro is an Imperial County city that appears on the top 10 lists for property crime increases
for the current year and over the last 10 years. This city has seen a steady increase in property crime
over the last 10 years, and has gone from slightly above average property crime to a very high property
crime city.

Top 10 cities with biggest decreases in violent crime in last 1, 5, and 10 years
These next tables review the cities experiencing the largest relative decrease in violent crime.
The crime levels that are shown are standardized to the regional average for a particular year.
Therefore, some of the cities on this list appear to have “higher” crime even though they are among
those with the biggest decreases in violent crime. They actually have experienced decreases, and these
standardized measures simply obscure this fact.
Compton has seen the largest decrease in violent crime in the last year, going from 303% above
the average to 189% above the average. So while violence remains high, this is a promising recent sign
for this city.
The small cities are more likely to experience drops in violence over the last year, as small cities
are low violence cities that have nonetheless experienced further decreases. In 2015 nine cities are
above the region average in violence, but nonetheless have experienced large drops in the last year.
The city of Murrieta has experienced the largest drop over the last 5 years, going from 226%
above the region average, to 72% below the region average.
Highland has also experienced a large drop in violence over the last year, going from 58% above
the region average to 7% above the average. This continues a long-term drop in which they have the 5th
largest drop in violence over the last 5 years, going from 76% above the region average to 6% below the
region average over the last 5 years. Furthermore, Highland had the 9th largest drop in violence over the
last 10 years, going from 36% above the region average to 6% below the region average over the last 10
years.
Riverside has the largest drop in violence over the last 10 years, although they do not appear on
the most recent lists. Los Angeles, which had the largest drop in violence over the last 10 years in 2013
and 2014 reports is no longer included in the 10 ten cities with largest decrease in violent crime rate in
the last 10 years.

Chapter 4. Violent and Property Crime long-term change and projections
Changes since 1990 in violent and property crime for U.S. cities
Given the discussion in the media about the long-term trends in crime in U.S. cities, we show
how violent and property crime have changed in U.S. cities since 1990. The following chart shows how
violent crime rates and property crime rates have changed since 1990 in U.S. and Southern California
cities with at least 10,000 population. The chart highlights that whereas the property and violent crime
rates were higher in Southern California cities compared to U.S. cities in 1990, they have exhibited an
even sharper downward trajectory compared to the U.S. and are now lower.

Projections of violent and property crime for 2017
We next present the forecasted violent and property crime rates in Southern California cities for 2017 based on our statistical model.
Based on the model, we first present the expected change in all cities in the region from 2015 to 2017. We then describe how the model projects changes in the cities in each county. We remind the reader that the forecasts for individual cities have a confidence interval around the predicted value, and therefore the forecasts are simply our “best guess” of the level of crime for 2017.
County-level changes in violent and property crime
In general, our projection model forecasts an overall relative drop in violent and property crime
in the region from 2015 levels to 2017. Whereas the average city had a violent crime rate in 2015 of 310
violent crime events per 100,000 people, our model projects an average decrease across cities of 21% in
2017 (a decrease of 65 violent crime events per 100,000 people). Our model projects an 11% decrease
in property crime events from 2015 to 2017 (a decrease of 267 property crime events per 100,000
people).
The projection model forecasts violent crime decreasing in 154 of the cities in the region (82%),
and increasing in just 34 of the cities. And the forecast model sees property crime decreasing in 148 of
the cities in the region (79%), and increasing in just 40 of the cities.
Turning to the individual counties, our model forecasts that cities in Los Angeles county will
generally fare similarly to the region overall. The model forecasts a nearly 21% decrease in violent crime
and a nearly 11% decrease in property crime in 2017, on average, for the cities in Los Angeles County.
About 88% of the cities are projected to experience a decrease in violent crime, whereas 80% are
projected to experience a decrease in property crime.
The model forecasts that Orange County cities will experience slightly larger decreases in crime
compared to the region overall. The cities in Orange County are projected to have, on average, 21.5%
less violent crime and 11.5% less property crime. Fully 94% of the cities are projected to experience
decreasing violent crime and 81% are projected to experience decreasing property crime.
Riverside County cities are forecasted to experience, on average, the largest decreases in
violence (35.5% less than 2017). Nonetheless, this is not uniform: although 83% of the cities are
33
projected to experience decreases in violence, 17% are projected to increase. Riverside County cities
are projected to experience decreases in property crime that are similar to the region overall.
San Bernardino County cities are also projected to experience decreases similar to the region
overall. San Bernardino cities, on average, are projected to experience a 19% decrease in violent crime
and an 11.5% decrease in property crime from 2015 to 2017. 74% of the cities are projected to
experience a decrease in violent crime, and 83% for property crime.
San Diego County cities are forecasted to experience the least change in violence. The model
forecasts just a 3% decrease in violent crime, on average, across San Diego cities, with about half
projected to increase and half projected to decrease. However, the projected decrease in property
crime in San Diego County cities is similar to that of the region overall.
Finally, whereas Ventura County cities are projected to experience a similar decrease in violent
crime to the region overall, property crime is projected to remain stable on average across these 10
cities.

Appendix
In this Appendix, we display the adjusted crime rates for all cities in each of the six major counties in the region. We present the results for each county separately, beginning with Los Angeles County. The first table for each county shows the adjusted crime rate in the most recent year (2015) for all cities in the county. The second table shows the average adjusted crime rate over the three most recent years (2013-15) for all cities in the county. After the two tables, we then display Figures showing the 10 year trajectory of the violent crime rate for the cities in the county. Each Figure presents the trajectories for a geographic cluster of cities. A map in each section shows the geographic clustering of cities for these figures. For each Figure, the scale is typically from 0 to 400. Thus, the bottom value
is a city with no violent crime, whereas 400 indicates a city with a violent crime rate 300% higher than the regional average (400 -100 = 300). For a few of the Figures, we had to extend the scale if certain cities had particularly high violent crime rates.
To understand how to interpret the
tables, note that in the first table for Los Angeles County, the city of Artesia has an adjusted aggravated assault rate of 143.8, indicating that in 2015 their aggravated assault rate was 43.8% higher than the average city in the region. The burglary rate in Artesia was 24.9% higher than the average city in the region (124.9 – 100 = 24.9). Artesia had no homicides in 2015, thus the adjusted homicide rate is 0. However, their larceny rate was below the average of the region at just 79.6% of the regional average.

Orange County This section shows the crime rate trends for Orange County cities. The first table shows the adjusted crime rate in the most recent year (2015) for all cities. The second table shows the average adjusted crime rate over the three most recent years (2013-15) for all cities. After the two tables, we then display Figures showing the 10 year trajectory of the violent crime rate for the cities in the county.
These cities are clustered geographically into city clusters, and the map shows the clustering of cities for these figures. For each Figure, the scale is typically from 0 to 400. Thus, the bottom value is a city with no violent crime, whereas 400 indicates a city with a violent crime rate 300% higher than the regional average (400 -100 = 300). For a few of the Figures, we had to extend the scale if certain cities had particularly high violent crime rates.

After the two tables, we then display Figures showing the 10 year trajectory of the violent crime rate for the cities in the county.
These cities are clustered geographically into city clusters, and the map shows the clustering of cities for these figures. For each Figure, the scale is typically from 0 to 400. Thus, the bottom value is a city with no violent crime, whereas 400 indicates a city with a violent crime rate 300% higher than the regional average (400 -100 = 300). For a few of the Figures, we had to extend the scale if certain cities had particularly high violent crime rates.

Ventura County This section shows the crime rate trends for Ventura County cities. The first table shows the adjusted crime rate in the most recent year (2015) for all cities. The second table shows the average adjusted crime rate over the three most recent years (2013-15) for all cities. After the two tables, we then display Figures showing the 10 year trajectory of the violent crime rate for the cities in the county.
These cities are clustered geographically into city clusters, and the map shows the clustering of cities for these figures. For each Figure, the scale is typically from 0 to 400. Thus, the bottom value is a city with no violent crime, whereas 400 indicates a city with a violent crime rate 300% higher than the regional average (400 -100 = 300). For a few of the Figures, we had to extend the scale if certain cities had particularly high violent crime rates.
