Raw crime counts make big cities look dangerous and small towns look safe. Dividing by population puts a city of 5,000 and a city of 500,000 on the same scale, so you can compare a rental in a small Iowa town with a duplex in New Orleans fairly.
Violent crime is murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Property crime is burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. For rentals, property crime often matters more day to day: it drives vacancy-period break-ins, insurance claims, and tenant turnover.
Each city is ranked against all reporting cities, weighted by population. Violent crime is 60% of the score and property crime 40%. An A means the city is in the lowest-crime fifth of where Americans live; an F means the highest-crime fifth.
The FBI reports crime per police agency, so every address in a city shares that city's rate. Crime varies block by block, so use the grade to screen a market, then drive the street, talk to neighbors and property managers, and check the local police department's own incident map before you buy.
Higher-crime areas can still pencil out: prices and cap rates are often higher there. Build the risk into the numbers: a bigger vacancy reserve, higher insurance, security upgrades, and a realistic tenant profile. Every off-market deal on this site now shows its area's grade.

Every number on this map comes from the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program's Crime in the United States release, Table 8: offenses known to law enforcement by city. We divide each agency's reported offenses by the population it serves to get a rate per 100,000 residents.
Each city is ranked against every other reporting city with at least 1,000 residents, weighted by population. Violent crime counts for 60% of the score and property crime for 40%. The lowest-crime fifth gets an A, and the highest-crime fifth gets an F.
The FBI publishes crime counts per police agency, not per street, so the map shows the nearest reporting city in the same state. Rural and unincorporated addresses are usually patrolled by a county sheriff, whose numbers the FBI doesn't publish with a population figure, so the closest city is shown as a reference point, along with the distance to it.
Once a year, after the FBI publishes its annual tables, usually in late summer for the previous calendar year.
