Houston FAQ
Is the Houston crime layer an official crime rate?
No. It is a relative, normalized crime-context index within the area you view — municipal open data where available, an official state baseline otherwise. It is not an official crime rate or safety rating, and must not be used to steer in violation of the Fair Housing Act.
How current is the data?
Housing and income come from the latest American Community Survey estimates; crime context uses recent municipal reports over your selected lookback window. Always verify specifics with official local sources.
