This system provides crime data from a database derived from FBI crime data.
It contains crime rates for metropolitan central/principal cities and metropolitan suburban places for 1992 and 1997 - 2005.
SOCDS also includes crime rates for the entire metropolitan area encompassing each city and the
suburban area remainder.
SOCDS provides two options for selecting crime data based
on the Office of Management and Budget's(OMB) definition of metropolitan areas;
1) the past 1990 Standard for
Metropolitan Statistical Areas and Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs/PMSAs) as established
in June 30, 1999
and 2) the present 2000 Standard
including both Metropolitan and Micropolitan Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) as established in
December 2006.
Data for the "Suburbs" are calculated as the data for the metropolitan area
less the sum of the data for all central/principal cities (if any) in the metropolitan area.
Please see Methodology & Definitions for more details.
The following table displays the number of suburban cities presented in SOCDS Crime by year:
