Each police agency's crimes, as reported to the FBI, are spread across the census block groups it serves using population, jobs, points of interest and, where available, local incident records. North Fair Oaks's figures add up its 10 block groups. The index compares crimes per resident with the U.S. rate.
- North Fair Oaks's published incident records inform the estimate for every neighborhood.

- Rates are per resident, so places where many people work or visit but few live, such as downtowns, airports and stadiums, can read high.
- Disorderly conduct and trespassing are modeled, because the FBI records them only through arrests.
