Research note
How crime-trend pages differ from static rankings
Static lowest-crime and highest-crime pages answer current-state intent. Crime-direction pages answer directional intent by focusing on movement over time.
Compare crime movement across Englewood, Colorado, including current violent crime per 1,000, multi-year direction, and where the city sits today in the covered phase-1 safety context.
Ranked rows are precomputed and served as static HTML from R2.

Static lowest-crime and highest-crime pages answer current-state intent. Crime-direction pages answer directional intent by focusing on movement over time.
When the opening period is unusually small, the page switches to an absolute-rate change instead of a misleading headline percentage. Use current rate and direction together.
