View crime data for all of Baltimore City, individual neighborhoods or even your own block in the tables and maps below. From the city’s Open Baltimore portal, the data is reported weekly by Baltimore Police following National Incident-Based Reporting System methodology, which can count multiple offenses from a single incident.
Reflecting groupings used by the FBI, this dashboard presents numbers for the violent offenses of aggravated assault, homicide, rape and robbery and the property offenses of arson, auto theft, burglary and larceny. Data reflect offenses reported by police, regardless of the extent prosecuted. The association of an offense with a neighborhood is based on the reported location and does not consider the residence of any victims or suspects. More information about homicides is available from The Sun’s homicides database.
