Name: Minneapolis crime counts by month, neighborhood and ward
Creator: Glass on the Street

Aggregated counts from MPD's open data, through October 1, 2026. Free to use with attribution. Read the methodology first, especially the notes on what is counted and the 2019 baseline.

CSV files

File	Rows are
crime-monthly.csv	Citywide offenses by year, month and offense group. `month_complete` is false for the month in progress.
crime-by-neighborhood.csv	Offenses by calendar year, neighborhood and group, with the 2020 resident count. `year_complete` is false for the current year.
crime-by-ward.csv	The same by ward.
population-2020.csv	Residents per neighborhood and ward from the 2020 Census. Method in the methodology page.

In every file is_crime separates offenses from rows that aren't counted as crimes (shots-fired calls, gunshot wound victims, subset rows). Add up only the is_crime = true rows for a total.

JSON API

The same endpoints the charts use. No key needed; please be considerate.

`/api/crime`	All offenses. Optional `?category=` (a group key below), `?neighborhood=Name`, `?ward=N`, `?sort=rate`. Monthly counts per year, same-period counts, the group table, hour-by-weekday counts and area rankings.
`/api/trends`	The car-related categories only (theft from vehicle, vehicle theft, parts theft, property damage). Same shape; `?category=theft-from-vehicle\|parts-theft\|vehicle-theft\|property-damage`.
`/api/reports`	Map data as GeoJSON, with `?from=&to=`.
