What was reported
What "Other" covers: the police department's own catch-all column — every reported incident that isn't one of the eight types listed above. That's mostly noise complaints, suspicious-person and property checks, disturbances, vandalism and other low-level calls. The city doesn't break this column down any further, so there's no way to see inside it.
What the map can't show
Overdose deaths never appear on a crime map, because they're not police reports — but they take more Richmond lives than homicide does. These are drug overdose deaths among Richmond residents, from state death-certificate records (Virginia Department of Health, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner; data extract July 2026):

- For scale: the homicide counts in the list above run in the dozens citywide each year — overdose deaths outpace them several times over, even in the lower 2024 and 2025 counts.
- These counts already include fentanyl — fentanyl deaths aren't tracked as a separate category; they're the biggest share inside the overdose numbers, so "overdose" here means fentanyl and everything else.
- *2025 is preliminary — it takes months for every death to be confirmed, so the final count will rise. Even so, deaths fell sharply from the 2021–2023 peak.
- The state doesn't publish these deaths split by Richmond's 148 official neighborhoods in a form this site can show, so they're citywide only — a separate dataset from the police reports above, and never counted in any neighborhood's numbers here.

How to read this
- These are reported incidents, not convictions. A report means someone called it in and police founded it.
- Counts alone favor small neighborhoods, so the default sort uses incidents per square mile. Neither number accounts for how many people live or work there — downtown, hospital and campus areas look busy because crowds pass through, not because residents are in danger.
- Crime in Richmond changes block by block. Use this to know your city, then check a specific street before you draw conclusions about it.
