Frequently asked questions
What is a CrimesLog Home report?
An instant, address-level report combining a 0–100 Home Score with useful home-hunter information: the nearest nurseries, primary and secondary/high schools, a college or university, and healthcare facilities (physicians/doctors clinics and pharmacies, where available). The Home Score itself is built from a map of anonymised crime reporting points around the address, three-year crime trend lines by category, the two nearest police stations with contact details, and a list of reported incidents with dates, offences and distances. The purchased report includes a downloadable PDF to keep or share. How the score works →
Where does the crime data come from?
Official, openly published police data only: UK street-level crime data published by territorial police forces, and the open-data portals of US and Canadian police services (for example NYPD via the NYC Open Data portal). Data refreshes monthly, and every source is audited for commercial-use licensing. No private or scraped data is used.
Which places are covered?
Every address in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; 27 US cities and areas (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Maryland statewide and more); and 5 Canadian cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton). Full list →
How much does it cost?
A one-off report is £24.99 / $34.00 / C$40.00. Agency signup is free — subscribers earn a 30% commission (£7.50 / $10.20 / C$12.00) on every report sold through their link. Full pricing →
Does a report identify victims or exact locations?
No. Crime locations are anonymised to the nearest common reporting point — one dot may represent several incidents — and CrimesLog holds no personal information about victims or suspects. Reports describe places, never people.
Is the Home Score a prediction?
No. It describes what has been recorded near an address over roughly the last three years — not what will happen — and it is not a guarantee of safety. Every report shows a data-confidence rating alongside the score, and where data is insufficient the report says so instead of showing a misleading score.
How do estate agents and realtors use it?
Signup is free — no subscription fee, no card or Direct Debit required. Add one hyperlink per listing to open a live report for that property on your own website — no API, no coding — and earn a flat 30% commission on every detailed report a buyer purchases through it, paid monthly via Wise. See UK estate agents or US & Canada realtors, or try the live sample report.
Is there a cost or contract for agencies?
No. Signup is free with no subscription fee, no card, and no Direct Debit. You can stop using your links at any time by emailing support@crimeslog.com. One-off reports are single purchases with nothing to cancel.
Can my agency appear on the CrimesLog map?
Every subscriber can opt in, at signup, to a pin showing their office on the live public crime map every CrimesLog visitor browses — free visibility to people actively researching an area. It's entirely voluntary: many agencies prefer not to appear on a crime map, and there's no obligation either way.
