How we calculated this
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. Lake Hiawatha's figures add up its 9 block groups. The index compares crimes per resident with the U.S. rate.
- Lake Hiawatha's published incident records inform the estimate for every neighborhood.
