What crime types does Augurisk predict?
Augurisk provides data on 5 crime types: violent crime (including simple assaults), property crime, vandalism, motor vehicle theft, and simple assaults (incidents where no weapon was used, resulting in no serious or aggravated injury, involving intimidation, coercion, hazing).
How does Augurisk handle rural areas?
Because the algorithm is trained on urban contexts, its performance is higher in urban areas. In States where a higher proportion of residents can be considered rural (such as North Dakota, Maine, or Vermont), predictions can seem lower than FBI estimates. Augurisk introduced a statistical correction by calibrating predictions using NIBRS estimates in rural States.
