The Data

The North Houston District tracks overall crime in the City of Houston and determines how much of that activity occurs in the North Houston District. We analyze crime data to assess needs and allocate resources, including budget, outreach programs, and task force operations.

The Method

Due to vast differences in crime reporting methods among agencies, we focus on data that is consistently obtainable. The District’s boundaries consist of two police beats and two jurisdictions, so data is pulled from multiple sources to build an accurate annual assessment.

No Comparison

We focus on activity within our boundaries. The Houston Police Department advises against comparing patrol beats due to size and population differences, and it is difficult to compare counties for those same reasons.
