Official data summary

How to compare exact addresses

  1. Use the same data source, date range, and search radius.
  2. Compare crimes against persons, property crime, and vehicle incidents separately.
  3. Check the home, parking, transit stops, and routes used after dark.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cupertino safe?

Cupertino is generally a low-crime city. The city reported that overall crime reached a ten-year low in 2024, while continuing to emphasize residential burglary prevention. That citywide trend is useful context, but it does not replace checking recent incidents around a specific home.

Does the citywide crime rate describe every neighborhood?

No. Citywide statistics provide trend context, but neighborhood, time window, incident type, and reporting method all affect an address-level assessment.

How should buyers compare two addresses?

Use the same source, date window, search radius, and crime categories, then check parking, commute routes, and places you will use after dark.
