Using Compare: two areas side by side

Put 2 to 4 of your areas next to each other for one month, on the same per-person basis, with likely ranges.

Compare puts areas next to each other fairly. Pick 2 to 4 areas and a complete month, and it shows them on the same per-person basis, each rate with its likely range.

Compare showing Waikiki District and Downtown Honolulu side by side: a property-crime rate per 1,000 with 95% confidence bands, plus Recorded and Reported counts and Noticed Attention Index bars, and a 'how to read this comparison' note.
Two areas for one month: the property-crime rate with its likely range on top, then bars for Recorded, Reported, and Noticed.

How to use it

Click the area chips to pick between 2 and 4 areas (only areas your plan covers). Choose a complete month. Each area is shown on the same scale, rate per 1,000 people present by day, so a busy district and a quiet one can be read against each other fairly.

Why the likely ranges matter

Each area's rate has a likely range. When two areas' ranges overlap, the gap between them is within the normal ups and downs, so read them as "about the same." A real difference is one where the ranges clearly separate.

Changing the order

Compare opens in the order you picked the areas. You can reorder them by rate, recorded count or community count with Order areas by. The areas are never numbered, and each rate keeps its likely range.
