Dashboards

This part of the dashboard shows when crimes happen most often in San Francisco. The top chart shows the total number of crimes each year, and the line chart below shows how crime changes from month to month.

You can use the dropdown menu to choose which years you want to look at. Just keep in mind:

• Some filters only change certain charts — look for notes on the screen to help guide you.
• The top chart shows yearly totals for different types of crime.
• The bottom chart shows monthly trends, so you can see when crime goes up or down during the year.

If you move your mouse over the bars or lines, you’ll see more details, like how many incidents happened in a certain category or month.

If you select a year or group of years in the dropdown filter, make sure to click, “Apply”.
