MySitti Rating™

How We Calculate This Score
Safety Score™
51/100Moderate Relative Risk
Elevated RiskModerateLower Risk

Relative to other Chicago neighborhoods, month-to-month stability score strongest here (89/100), while property-crime levels contributes least (29/100). Reported incidents are down 6% versus the previous 12 months.

Note: rates are normalized by resident population. In high-visitor districts like this one, that denominator can overstate relative risk for the people actually here. Activity-adjusted safety arrives in model v1.1.

Where a category records fewer than 20 incidents in a year, one incident either way would move its rate too far to rate from, so the band is judged on the three-year figure instead.

How We Calculate These Scores

The Neighborhood Intelligence™ Score (Model NIS-1.0) combines 8 verified categories — safety, walkability, transit, dining, parks, attractions, family friendliness, and nightlife — each scored 0–100 against every other Chicago neighborhood, then weighted (safety carries the most at 25%). The MySitti Rating™ converts that score to the 0–10 scale. Safety uses 36 months of official Chicago Police Department (CLEAR) data: violent and property crime rates, 12-month and 3-year trends, time-of-day patterns, and month-to-month stability. Categories without verified data are excluded and disclosed — never estimated. Scores refresh monthly with each data update.
