Each report is geocoded by the City to a Community Reporting Area; we aggregate by CRA(s) that match the named neighborhood. The "last 90 days" window is anchored to the most recent report date in the dataset. Photos are extracted from the City of Seattle's published Encampment Response Team site journals.
