An A in Miami is not an A in DC.

Grades are percentile ranks within a city. An A in Miami means safer than most of Miami — never safer than most of DC.

Cities publish different data in different ways, so the site never ranks one city against another. How each city is built, and what it cannot tell you, is written up per city:
