SafeHop

SafeHop helps travelers understand which neighborhoods see more reported crime — and find the safest way between two places — before you book a hotel, park a rental car or head out for the evening. Pick a city and the map colors every neighborhood green, yellow or red based on six months of official police data. Tap any area to see what was reported there, how it compares with the rest of the city and how it changed over time. SAFEST ROUTE Choose a start and a destination, walking or driving, and SafeHop compares realistic routes by the crime reported in the areas they pass through. You see the safest and the least safe route with their travel times, and can start the route in Apple Maps or Google Maps. WHAT YOU CAN SEE • Pickpocketing & bag/phone snatching • Car break-ins • Other theft • Robbery • Assault • Burglary • Vehicle theft Filter the map — and the route comparison — by any category. CITIES Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Miami and Seattle. HOW IT WORKS SafeHop counts incidents reported to police over the last 6 months and divides them by each area’s size. Areas are compared only with other areas in the same city: green is the third with the fewest reports per km², red the third with the most. Routes are compared by the crime level of the areas they pass through, weighted by the distance in each area. Data is refreshed daily as police departments publish new records. DATA SOURCES All crime data comes from official open-data portals: • Chicago Police Department – data.cityofchicago.org • Los Angeles Police Department – data.lacity.org • New York City Police Department – data.cityofnewyork.us • City of Miami Police Department – City of Miami Open Data • Seattle Police Department – data.seattle.gov Routes and place search: © OpenStreetMap contributors. PLEASE NOTE SafeHop is an independent app and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any police department or government agency. It shows reported incidents, not a guarantee of safety: not every crime is reported, and busy areas see more reports simply because more people are there. Crime data is per neighborhood, so two streets in the same area can't be told apart. New York data is published quarterly. Miami covers the City of Miami only (not Miami Beach). In an emergency, call 911. PRIVACY No accounts, no ads, no tracking. SafeHop does not collect personal data or use your location.
