SpotCrime - The Public's Crime Map

The crime maps above depict areas of intensity commonly known as heat maps. The data used to create these maps is the last one hundred reported shootings in San Antonio. Based on other crime maps done by SpotCrime , these maps seem to have more areas of intensity than others. Bright yellow areas are the hottest areas for shootings or the highest areas of concentration of shootings in San Antonio. Both maps are using the same data. The map with the push pins is showing the specific shootings mapped by SpotCrime to generate the heat map.

The above map was pulled from SpotCrime's San Antonio crime map mashup. For 2008, we have mapped 28 shootings in and around San Antonio from January to October. Even with limited data, one can see areas of concentration particularlly in the eastern area of the city near Martin Luther King Park. The link to the map is here: http://spotcrime.com/tx/san+antonio
