Full survey documentation is available here.
When selecting more than one component from the same geographical level, Social Explorer provides a total for these components in the "All Selected Geographies" column. This total is for the available geographies only within the same geographical level. When a value is missing from one or more components from the same geographical level, Social Explorer denotes it with an asterisk (*) in the All Selected Geographies column.
The FBI determined that the agency's data were underreported or overreported. Consequently, those data are not included in those counties and cannot be summed up to a state total.Because of changes in the state/local agency's reporting practices, figures are not comparable to previous years' data.
Most of the agencies for the offense of rape were reported using the revised UCR definition of rape.
However, some agencies began the year by submitting rape data classified according to the legacy UCR definition, but then at some point modified its reporting methods and began classifying and submitting rape offenses according to the revised UCR definition of rape.
For the legacy and the revised definition of rape please refer to: https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-2014/tables/table-10/table-10-data-declaration
The FBI does not publish arson data unless it receives data from either the agency or the state for all 12 months of the calendar year. If that is a case, a blank is presented in the arson column.
