THINGS TO DO
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.
