Reported crime across Kansas City

The map makes Kansas City's geography of crime visible at a glance. Reported activity intensifies along the East Side and the Prospect Corridor and around downtown, while Brookside, Waldo, and the Northland across the river tend to stay lighter. Zoom in to tell one block from the next.

Plotted incidents reflect KCPD reporting and may be geocoded to a block rather than the exact location.

Darker areas logged more incidents over the window; lighter ones logged fewer. Downtown, the Power & Light District, and major commercial strips draw reports simply because of how many people pass through, so compare those clusters against the residential population nearby before drawing conclusions.
