A crash counts toward the neighborhood whose outline holds its point. 49 of the 49 crashes here had no coordinates on the report and were placed at the intersection its street names give. Reports with neither coordinates nor usable street names aren't on the map, so these numbers are lower than the real total. Crashes on freeways are left out. Busy streets show more crashes partly because more people use them. Outline: DataSF, Analysis Neighborhoods. Data last rebuilt 2026-10-07. How the data works.
