Introduction
This report provides an in-depth overview of crime and security patterns across the assessed locations, focusing on five key indicators: Crime Risk Score, Customers in 0.5-mile radius, Property Crime Index, National Average Crime Index, and Local Average Crime Index.
The visualizations in this section illustrate how these metrics vary across sites:
- Crime Risk Score reveals clusters of low- to
mid-range risk, with a small number of high-risk outliers.
- Customers in 0.5-mile radius indicates that most
locations have similar security presence, though a few areas show
significantly higher coverage.
- Property Crime Index demonstrates a broad range of
property crime exposure levels.
- National Average Crime Index remains stable across
all locations, reflecting consistent national benchmarks.
- Local Average Crime Index displays greater variation, underscoring regional differences in crime patterns.
These patterns highlight locations where crime risk is significantly higher than both national and local averages, particularly when combined with limited surrounding security infrastructure. Such sites should be prioritized for targeted security interventions.
Crime Risk Distribution by Location
This ridge plot shows the distribution of CoreLogic® crime indices (e.g., property crime, burglary) across locations.
Distribution of CoreLogic® crime indices across 10 business locations.
Insight: Memphis (LOC009) and Atlanta (LOC005) exhibit the highest and most varied crime risks, signaling widespread and complex safety challenges. In contrast, locations like Anderson (LOC001) and Madison (LOC008) show consistently low crime levels. Notably, cities such as Denver and Austin display mixed risk patterns—some crime types are elevated despite otherwise moderate conditions—suggesting emerging vulnerabilities. This highlights an opportunity for proactive security investment before risks escalate.
Radar Chart Location Risk & Security Profile
This radar chart compares five key risk and security indicators across the top 5 locations.
Multi-dimensional risk and security profile for top 5 locations.
Insight: The radar chart reveals that Memphis (LOC009) and Atlanta (LOC005) face the most complex risk profiles — marked by high crime scores, elevated security adoption (fences and inquiries), and relatively distant police presence. This combination suggests a reactive security posture in high-threat environments. In contrast, Anderson (LOC001) and Columbus (LOC002) show lower crime levels and minimal nearby fencing, indicating earlier-stage risk development. This multidimensional view enables strategic prioritization: target high-risk sites for reinforcement and engage mid-risk markets proactively to prevent escalation.
Crime Risk vs Nearby Security Adoption
This scatter plot compares crime risk score with the number of nearby AMAROK-fenced businesses, a proxy for local security adoption.
Higher crime risk correlates with more nearby fences, suggesting reactive security investment.
Insight: A clear positive correlation emerges between crime risk and nearby AMAROK-fenced businesses — locations with higher Crime Risk Scores tend to have more secured neighbors within 0.5 miles. For instance, Memphis (LOC009) and Atlanta (LOC005) show both elevated crime and high fencing density (5 and 4 nearby fences, respectively), signaling a reactive approach to security. In contrast, low-risk sites like Anderson (LOC001) and Portland (LOC006) have no nearby fenced businesses, reflecting minimal perceived threat. This pattern suggests that security investment often follows, rather than anticipates, rising risk — revealing a strategic opportunity for AMAROK to engage mid-risk markets before crime escalates and drive proactive adoption.
Circular Barplot: Crime Risk Score by Location
This circular barplot visualizes the Crime Risk Score for all 10 locations.
Crime Risk Score varies significantly across locations, with Memphis, Atlanta, and Las Vegas showing the highest risk.
Insight: The circular barplot clearly identifies Memphis (LOC009) as the highest-risk location with a Crime Risk Score of 33.5, followed by Atlanta (LOC005, 31.8) and Las Vegas (LOC007, 29.7). These markets face significantly elevated threats compared to low-risk sites like Anderson (LOC001, 10.4) and Madison (LOC008, 11.8). This stark contrast enables rapid prioritization: high-risk locations warrant immediate investment in enhanced physical security, real-time monitoring, and threat assessments, while lower-risk sites can focus on preventative strategies and community-based safety engagement. The visualization serves as a clear decision-making tool for allocating resources efficiently across the portfolio.
Conclusion
High-risk markets (Memphis, Atlanta): Prioritize security investment and monitoring, including 24/7 surveillance, access control upgrades, and threat response planning. These locations face the highest crime scores and show signs of reactive security adoption — indicating urgent need for comprehensive, layered protection.
Low-risk markets (Anderson, Madison): Focus on preventative measures such as security assessments, client education, and community engagement. With low crime and minimal fencing nearby, these sites are ideal for proactive outreach and early risk mitigation.
Proximity ≠ protection: Some locations are geographically close to police stations but suffer from low officer density or delayed response times. This disconnect highlights the importance of evaluating both structural and operational aspects of local security infrastructure.
This data-driven approach enables location-specific risk mitigation strategies that optimize resource allocation, improve client preparedness, and position AMAROK as a strategic security partner across diverse market conditions.
