France Crime Statistics by Commune & Department (SSMSI)

What it does

Returns one row per area × crime indicator with the yearly series of recorded offences/victims, rate per 1,000 inhabitants (per 1,000 households for burglaries), first vs latest rate change in %, and for departments/regions the rank among all areas (1 = highest rate). Communes with too few cases are flagged published: false by SSMSI (no number given).

Who it's for: Real-estate and relocation sites, local journalists, insurers, security companies, data journalists and civic-tech apps.

All numbers come straight from the official source at run time. Nothing is estimated or modelled; field names are neutral and every item carries source and source_url.

Input

Defaults work out of the box. Example:

{"level": "department", "areas": ["93", "75"], "indicators": ["Cambriolages de logement", "Homicides"]}
