The problem

The data exists.
The system just
isn't telling you.

76% of sexual assaults are never reported to police. Of the violent crimes that are reported, 56% go unsolved. The person who did it is still in the neighborhood. Today included. The incidents happened. The addresses are logged. The pattern is repeating right now.

Every crime incident, crash record, flood boundary, and toxic exposure site is documented in federal databases. That data sits in public repositories most people will never open — before they sign a lease, before they buy a house, before it matters. The government has already done the work. The only question is whether you look before or after.

SafeScore pulls it in real time, scores it at the address level, and puts it in your hand before you need it.

The national violent crime rate is 359 per 100,000 — 1 in 278 per year. Because 52% of violent crimes go unreported, real exposure is closer to 1 in 134. Over a 5-year lease, cumulative odds that violent crime touches your household are not negligible. Over a 30-year mortgage, the statistical expectation is not zero. At above-average crime locations, it crosses a near-certainty threshold before year ten.

The pattern

The risk was always there.
Nobody had the data in hand.

These incidents repeat. The data exists at every location. It just isn't accessible when it matters.

Moore, Oklahoma
EF5 tornado. Twice.
Same city.

Struck in 1999 and again in 2013. Both maximum-intensity tornadoes. Both times, people rebuilt in the same location. — NOAA

Houston, Texas
100-year flood now happens every 8–23 years

145,000 Houston homes sit in the flood zone but aren't shown that way on FEMA maps. — First Street Foundation

Pacific Palisades, CA
Same hills burning since the 1930s

Major fires recorded in 1943, 1956, 1978, 1985, 1993, and January 2025 — the most destructive in LA history. — WildfireLA.org

US Coastlines
100 rip current deaths. Every year.

The same beaches. The same currents. Florida accounts for nearly half of all US rip current deaths. — USLA / NIU

Flint, Michigan
Lead in the water. Flagged in 2015. Still used for two more years.

EPA sampling confirmed elevated lead levels in 40% of tested homes. An internal memo flagged corrosion risks before residents were told anything. An estimated 100,000 residents were exposed. — EPA / CDC

Every US City
50% of all crime happens on 5% of street blocks.

Across every city studied, crime concentrates in the same small clusters of addresses — year after year. The block next to it stays quiet. The pattern doesn't move. If you are in a high-concentration block, your personal odds are not 1 in 278. They are closer to 1 in 50. The zip code average is hiding that from you. — National Research Council

What gets scored

Not a guess. Not an opinion.
Eleven categories of real data.

Real data. Real consequence.

A family researching a move to Charlotte, NC ran SafeScore on their first-choice neighborhood. Overall score: 71 — low crime, safe roads. But Infrastructure & Toxic Exposure came back 19 out of 100. One block away: an EPA-listed toxic release facility with documented air emissions exceeding federal thresholds. They moved three miles east. SafeScore scored that address at 84.

The scoring engine

One number. Eleven independent
layers of real-world data.

SafeScore doesn’t average crime statistics and return a zip code number. Every address is different. 50% of all crime concentrates on 5% of street blocks — the zip code average hides a 10-block swing that means the difference between 1 in 50 odds and 1 in 500. The engine weighs 11 independent data categories in real time — incident recency, severity, pattern frequency, clearance rates, environmental exposure — and resolves them into a single score for one specific address. Not your neighborhood. Not your zip code. Your address. The number you see accounts for what happened there, what went unreported, and what went unsolved. It is not a generalization. It is the specific risk profile of that location.

01

Live data pull

Every score request triggers real-time API calls to primary government sources. No cached third-party feeds. No aggregators.

02

Category scoring

Each of the 11 data categories is scored independently — normalized, weighted by incident type, and adjusted for recency and geographic density.

03

Composite resolution

Category scores are resolved into a single 0–100 SafeScore. Higher is safer. Tiers run from Low Risk (80–100) down to Critical (0–19).

04

Continuous refresh

Scores update as new incident data becomes available — not on a fixed schedule. If something changes at your address, your score reflects it.

The methodology behind the engine is proprietary. What you see is the output — a score you can trust because every input is traceable to a named primary source.

Criminal justice signal

A crime happening is only
half of the equation.

The other half is whether anyone is ever held accountable. SafeScore factors in criminal justice performance — because a neighborhood where crimes go unsolved is functionally more dangerous than raw incident counts alone can show. Impunity is a risk multiplier.

6 in 10

Families who report a violent crime will never see an arrest. Law enforcement closes 44% of violent cases — the other 56% result in zero accountability. The incident is logged. Nothing else happens. (FBI Crime Data Explorer, 2023)

1 in 2

Killers walk free. The murder clearance rate hit an all-time low of 49.4% in 2020. In 1965 it was above 90%. Today, if someone is killed in your neighborhood, the odds the person responsible faces any consequence are worse than a coin flip. (FBI UCR)

352,390

Unsolved homicides in the US between 1965 and 2024. That is not a statistic — it is 352,390 specific addresses where a killing happened, no one was arrested, and the case is still open. Today included. (Project Cold Case)

3 in 10

Rape cases get solved. Clearance rates for sexual assault have dropped 27% since 2014 — meaning roughly 7 out of every 10 reported rapes result in zero arrest. Reported. On record. Unanswered. (FBI Crime Data Explorer)

Why this matters to your score

Law enforcement closes 44% of violent crime cases. The other 56% result in zero arrest. Six out of every ten families who report a violent crime will never see anyone held accountable. A location where incidents go unanswered changes behavior — offenders recognize low-consequence environments, and repeat incidents cluster in those zones. Impunity compounds risk. SafeScore weighs local justice system performance as an independent signal, not a footnote. The score you see accounts for what happened at a location and whether anything was done about it.
