How to Use This Analysis
Use the dropdown menu to filter by specific neighborhoods or view all data
Hover over data points to see exact crime counts for each year
The default view shows trends across all Cambridge neighborhoods
Dotted lines show US national average
- calculated using FBI national violent crime rates prorated to Cambridge/neighborhood population sizes
Data includes only violent crimes: homicide, assault, robbery, kidnapping, arson, weapons violations, threats, stalking, and extortion
Years with no data points indicate zero violent crimes reported for that neighborhood
*2025E data:
2025 crime counts have been pro-rated to estimate a full year based on the most recent incident date
