Data terms

You may quote and cite the aggregate figures on CrimeMetric pages without asking us: crime indexes, rates per resident and expected counts for a state, city, town, neighborhood or crime type; rankings; changes over a year and projections; and counts and shares that summarize police records across a whole city, town or neighborhood, such as the table of records by month. That includes news, research, teaching, commentary, and answers from search engines and AI assistants. Modeled figures for an address or block group, such as a result from the address check, are aggregate figures too. Particular police records, and where they happened, aren't; they're covered below.

When you do:

• Credit CrimeMetric and link to the page the figure comes from.
• Give the date the page was updated, shown under its title.
• Describe modeled figures as estimates, and counts of police records as what agencies published. Don't present either as a safety rating, a grade or a certainty.
• Don't use them to make or support decisions about individual people, including tenant screening, credit or lending, insurance and employment, or to steer home buyers, renters or borrowers toward or away from a neighborhood.

Individual crime incident records are different. They include each record and its date, time, crime type, block address and map location; lists and tables of individual records, such as the latest records; the record points and files behind the maps; and lists built from where records happened, such as the busiest spots and the streets with the most records.

You may view them on CrimeMetric; your browser loading the map's files to show a page is part of viewing. Any other use of them, commercial or not, requires a written contract with Vorp Labs, on our commercial terms. That includes copying, quoting or republishing records; downloading, saving, scraping or otherwise collecting them or the map's files; putting them in a database, product or service; combining them with other data; and using them to build or train a model.

Contact us about a contract.

Collecting CrimeMetric pages or data in bulk, whether aggregate figures or records, to build or keep a copy of the dataset, or to resell or redistribute it, also requires a written contract. Search engines and AI assistants may crawl pages to index them, and may show and link to aggregate figures as described above; that doesn't extend to reproducing individual incident records.

For city-level figures in bulk, use the downloadable city sample, which comes with its own license. That license, not this section, covers those files and the Snowflake listing; it doesn't include incident records.

Map boundaries and streets, neighborhood names and outlines, place data, and the agency data behind the incident records belong to their owners and stay under their terms. These terms don't license them. Data sources lists them, with the credits their licenses require.

The figures are modeled estimates with uncertainty, and the records are as agencies published them. Both are provided as they are, without any warranty of accuracy or fitness for a purpose. We may change these terms; the date above shows the latest version.
