San Francisco vs Los Angeles

Each city keeps its own offence names, geography, and years. This is not a shared crime ranking. A missing year stays missing.

Read the local label.

The same heading does not mean the same offence. Drug counts and deaths stay off this snapshot unless that is the only shared series.

Local definitions & sources

Colour identifies each city; line patterns distinguish added statistics. Local measures can have different definitions.

Los Angeles · Assault

Sexual assault and homicide are excluded from these five indicators. Homicide is not folded into assault. LAPD moved to NIBRS in March 2024. Assault, burglary and robbery change basis in 2024; auto theft and grand theft use legacy data through 2024 and NIBRS from 2025. Values across that break are not directly comparable. The map shades neighbourhood councils, not individual reports. Source locations are hundred-block coordinates and are not drawn as dots.

Larceny theft has no dollar floor in this file, so it is not plotted as theft over. Recovered vehicles stay out. 2016 and 2017 remain in a retired reporting system and are not merged with this file. 2026 is year-to-date.
