Maps of San Francisco

If San Francisco Crime Were Elevation

Doug McCune is responsible for these fascinating maps showing what San Francisco’s infamous hills would look like if they were created by crime frequency instead of geology.

Most of the elevation profiles are opposite of San Francisco’s actual elevation profile, showing little crime in Twin Peaks/West Portal, and more in the flatlands of the Mission/Market corridor.

He covers prostitution, vehicle theft, larceny, narcotics, assault, vandalism, warrants, and robbery.
