Crime Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the crime rate is:

\[ CR = \frac{TC}{P} \times 100,000 \]

Where:

\( CR \) is the rate of crimes per 100,000 people
\( TC \) is the total number of crimes committed in an area
\( P \) is the total population of the area

What is a Crime Rate?

A crime rate is defined as the total number of crimes performed per a certain number of people in a specified area. This is typically expressed per 100,000 people.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Crimes (TC): 500
Population (P): 200,000

Using the formula to calculate the crime rate:

\[ CR = \frac{500}{200000} \times 100,000 = 250 \text{ per 100,000 people} \]

The crime rate is 250 per 100,000 people.
