Data & Methodology

Data source: Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) crime records, sourced from the LA City Open Data Portal. Covers reported incidents from 2020 to present, updated regularly. Only active, non-duplicate records are counted.

Neighborhood boundaries correspond to LAPD patrol divisions, not city-defined neighborhood boundaries. An incident is assigned to a division based on the reporting area recorded in the original data.

Limitations: Reported incident counts reflect only crimes that were reported to and recorded by LAPD. Under-reporting means actual incident rates may be higher. Data may have delays of several days to weeks depending on the source dataset. A reported incident does not imply guilt or conviction.

Last database update: Sept. 5, 2026.
