CDS has just updated RiskMeter's Crime Report. This report is updated twice a year, and it's based on FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics (UCR) and demographic clustering, to estimate crime rates for very small areas (census block groups).  The latest update includes new data from 2011.  For users who aren't familiar with this report, all you need to do is enter an address and it will return 10 crime scores for a given location and within 1/2 and 2 miles.

Many of our customers have found this report to be very useful when writing commercial and residential property, by identifying high risk areas prior to instituting coverage.  Some of the areas our customers found this to be most helpful, include: habitational properties, bars/taverns, vacant buildings and crime coverage.

For more information or to test drive this report for two weeks, please contact your account executive at 617.737.4444
