This region publishes area-level counts rather than point-level crime data (LGA for Australia, census metropolitan area for Canada, police agency jurisdiction for the US, district / Landkreis for Germany, commune for France, ward/city for Tokyo, metropolitan province for South Korea). The score ranks universities by weighted incidents per 100,000 residents within the same statistical pool — it is not directly comparable with point-based rankings.
