CR in numbers: Downtown safety
January to November · 2024 versus 2025
I see progress. I still see work.
I welcome these early gains. I cannot call the job finished when only 39% felt safe downtown in the 2025 survey.
I compare each measure with its own 2024 level. I am not showing raw counts or a full-year result.
My sources & exact numbers +
I translate the City’s December 12, 2025 update into an index: a 37.8% decline becomes 62.2 against 100. I compare the same January to November periods, keep calls separate from recorded crime and do not add overlapping categories. I use the survey’s safe / very safe response, not the larger total including neutral answers. I exclude the archived Crime Severity Index comparison because its reporting break makes a simple Council scorecard misleading.
I checked these sources on 8 September 2026. I am showing dated public records, not a live feed.
| Measure | 2024 baseline | 2025 index |

| Citywide property crime | 100 | 72.3 |
| Downtown violent crime | 100 | 71.1 |
| Downtown police calls | 100 | 79.5 |
