Bump for data collected by TheNBagis

This is a great snapshot of crime in Philly.

Where did you get this information? For what year?

The data came from http://cml.upenn.edu/crimebase

I used the neighborhood reports, for which the latest data was for 2005.

I'd go to cml.upenn.edu and see if they still have crime statistics at the census blockgroup level (they did last I was there for serious research, but the site's changed a bit since then).
