A Data Analysis Project
Nine years of police incidents meet daily temperature, rain and snow — to ask a simple question: how much does the weather outside shape the crime reported across the city?
A written, chart-by-chart walk through the whole story — from the headline temperature effect to the surprises hiding in the details.
Pick any single offense and watch the whole page reshape to its weather personality — live charts, plain-English summary, instant comparisons.
Detroit police incidents are aggregated to daily counts and joined to local daily weather. Temperature effects come from correlations and regressions; every precipitation, wind and heat-wave figure is reported holding temperature constant, so the weather signal is never just the season in disguise. Full methodology and caveats live at the end of the report.
