Crime Maps
The maps available below show concentrations of crimes within the City of Tucson, Arizona.
Shaded grids are quarter sections, which are approximately one half mile on a side.
Crime counts represented on the maps cover the period January - December 2005.
Area coverage is only within City limits, does not include most South Tucson, University
of Arizona, Pima Community College, Davis Monthan AFB or Tucson International Airport
cases, and does not systematically include surrounding metro areas. The data points that
were aggregated by grid were interpolated from Pima County street centerlines with a 30
foot offset and had an approximate 99.3% geocoding match rate.
Criminal incidents were screened according to definitions included in the Uniform Crime
Reporting program of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Crime counts are approximate and subject to change.
It is important to note that the total incidence of reported and discovered crime, as mapped
here, is due to a number of factors, including:
- Actual amount of crime as interpreted through Uniform Crime Reporting rules
- Rate of reporting by crime victims
- Special efforts of police to reduce crime (which may increase the amount of crime known to police)
- Special efforts of victims to reduce crime, such as shoplifting prevention programs (which may increase the amount of crime known to police)
- Data processing practices, including geocoding match rate (approximately 99.3% for this data)
- Changes in the law or in criminal justice system policies and practices
