Esri Demographics

What’s New in Esri U.S. Demographics (July 2022)

By Lucy Guerra

Following the major data release this past June, Esri is pleased to present an additional update in July. The Crime Indexes data are updated to represent 2022 and, for the first time, are based on 2020 Census geography.

Crime Indexes provide a view of the relative risk of specific crime types. It is not a database of actual crimes, but rather the relative risk of a crime occurring in an area compared to the United States in its entirety. Values above 100 indicate the area has an above average risk of occurring compared to the US. Values below 100 indicate a below average risk. Updated semiannually, the data provide an assessment of relative risk of seven major crime types indexes for several categories of personal and property crime:

  • Personal: Murder, Rape, Robbery, Assault
  • Property: Burglary, Larceny, Motor Vehicle Theft

To learn more about this data, view the Crimes Indexes information page.
