Spring Valley's figures add up its 19 block groups. The index compares crimes per resident with the U.S. rate.
- Spring Valley's published incident records inform the estimate for every neighborhood.
- 30.4% of residents live in block groups whose estimate has high confidence (80% interval within about 5x).
- 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.
