Street-level patterns from the Fall 2023 course presentation. Historical reported incidents are not a current neighborhood safety rating.
How can maps communicate patterns in reported crime and their neighborhood context?
- Mapped reported incidents by offense type, using neighborhood and street-level hot-spot maps.
- Compared patterns across the presentation’s study periods, including a discussion of changes around COVID-19 restrictions.
- Presented maps alongside neighborhood demographic context and a review of Houston’s public-safety initiatives.
Produced an academic presentation connecting citywide, neighborhood, and street-level patterns in reported incidents. The maps support discussion of how the study’s historical data vary by place, offense type, and time period.
