A more accurate crime heat map.
The other day I saw a heat map of crime in alameda that APD put out for 2025, there was no scale, and seemed to be mostly used as a justification as to why they don't do blanket enforcement and instead focus on crime hot spots.
But I was wondering what the overall crime in the city looked like. So I made this. The heat map is made out of data from January 1st 2025 - December 31st 2025. The data comes from https://alameda.citizenrims.com/map
This is only crimes, not activity. There are some limitations in what data was taken as there isn't information about juvenile crimes, or crimes of a sensitive nature, but the numbers of crimes roughly line up with the official report for 2025.
This does include all crimes like driving under the influence or disorderly conduct, but if we only took the largest category (larceny/theft) the map looks similar.
This was made using python.
