North Capitol Hill, Union Station and Central Business District have far more jobs than residents (Census jobs data, 2023). Their rates divide by residents only, so they run high: most people there on a weekday live somewhere else.

Change compares the same neighborhood’s counts in Sep 2025 to Aug 2026 with Sep 2024 to Aug 2025. With fewer than 200 incidents across the two years, a change of a quarter either way can come from chance alone; those changes are in gray, marked “few cases”, and go last when sorting by change.
