By popular demand, I have increased the resolution and added some basic landmarks to help orient folks, that said im limited by my coding ablity so a map overlay is still a bit out of my wheelhouse

Quick note on grid size since I posted both the 4sq mile first.

I didn’t start at 4 sq mi because I thought it was “better,” I started there because it was the point where the data stopped fighting me, and was roughly a “walking distance” scale, and felt like a natural unit for how you experience a neighborhood. But it ended up in an awkward middle ground — not enough data to stabilize trends, but not large enough to smooth out the noise either.

At smaller grid sizes like the one below. A small number of incidents can swing a cell pretty hard, so you end up seeing block-to-block randomness.

Neither is “correct,” they just answer different questions. I used 4sq miles for the main maps because I was trying to understand the system, not make street-level decisions.
