About This Data

The summary shown for Albany (ZIP 12209) uses annual county-level reporting from the FBI Crime Data Explorer/UCR program. It reflects crimes reported by participating law-enforcement agencies; coverage and reporting systems vary by agency and year.

The crime score of 45/100 uses the best available city, agency, county, or state-remainder tier and its applicable benchmark. A higher score represents a lower reported rate under that tier; it is not a guarantee of safety.
