Data Note
Incident counts reflect the last 90 days from Montgomery's ArcGIS open data portal (Fire, EMS, Rescue). "High risk" indicates above-average incident density — not that an area is unsafe at all times. Crime patterns vary by time of day and block. For nuanced guidance, ask the AI Civic Assistant.
