Area evidence and limitations

Overall-only public-alpha estimate. Ward variation uses all nine mutually exclusive offense categories in the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department's 2025 incident layer, grouped by the official Ward value and conservatively anchored to Washington, D.C.'s city score. The official ArcGIS rows were transported through a read-only text proxy after the source host failed TLS from the build network. These are recorded incident counts, not resident or visitor victimization rates; commuters, tourism, reporting, policing and land use materially affect the pattern. No day/night differences are inferred. OpenStreetMap Ward boundaries are for display; not travel advice.

Before choosing accommodation

  1. Locate your intended stay on the map and check whether that area has evidence.
  2. Read what drives the local differences. A citywide score and an area estimate answer different questions.
  3. Check current local advice and your transport options separately. These estimates cannot assess a specific hotel, street or time of day.
