# safety_security # safety_security Safety metrics for the property's location: crime rates, emergency-services response, and an overall assessment. Safety and security metrics including crime rates, emergency services response times, and overall safety assessments. The question it answers ## What is this house, physically? The feature vector, taken from the source of record rather than from a listing agent. Assessor and parcel records are authoritative; listing fields are agent-entered, inconsistent between markets, and absent entirely for a property that was never listed. Other classes answering this question ## Why it matters Safety at location level is one of the inputs buyers weight most heavily and one of the least consistently available, because the reporting geography rarely matches the parcel geography. ## In practice The figures come from published sources at whatever geography those sources use, which is usually a reporting district rather than a parcel. The class records what was published rather than interpolating to the parcel, so a consumer can decide how to treat the mismatch. ## Properties | Property | Type | Definition | | --- | --- | --- | | `source_http_request` | `object` | HTTP request configuration for retrieving this data. | | `request_identifier` | `string | null` | Identifier value that should be substituted into the source HTTP request to retrieve this specific data. | | `crime_rate` | `string | null` | Overall crime rate assessment for the area. `VeryLow``Low``Moderate``High``VeryHigh` | | `crime_rate_comparison` | `string | null` | Comparison to national average (e.g., '70% below national avg'). | | `emergency_services_response` | `string | null` | Emergency services response time quality. `FastResponse``GoodResponse``AverageResponse``SlowResponse` | | `emergency_response_time` | `string | null` | Specific response time range (e.g., '5-7 min response time'). | | `overall_safety_grade` | `string | null` | Overall safety grade for the area. `A+``A``A-``B+``B``B-``C+``C``C-``D+``D``D-``F` | ## Provenance and coverage A record of this class is validated against the same definition whatever jurisdiction it came from, which is what makes two counties comparable without a per-county adapter. A jurisdiction appears below only where a committed configuration serves this class's surface. - Lee, Florida - Palm Beach, Florida - Miami-Dade, Florida - Orange, Florida - Santa Clara, California How a new jurisdiction is brought online
