St. Louis City Crime Analysis 2015 Homicide Prediction Presented by: Kranthi Kancharla Scott Manns Eric Rodis Kenneth Stecher Sisi Yang
2
Project Objectives Generate a predictive model to forecast 2015 homicides in St. Louis City Divide St. Louis City into geographic subsets to forecast homicide rates by area Present findings to St. Louis City Police Chief for further use in identifying critical areas to better design & implement strategic measures
3
Methodology Gather data from St. Louis City Police on homicides over the past 5 years from 2010 to 2014 Generate alternative variables that can influence whether an area is likely to have high or low homicide rates Identify sources that have data available for the variables selected covering St. Louis City Adjust data to fit geographic subsets of St. Louis City Select a model that best incorporates these variables to a predictable outcome
4
Background St. Louis ranked 4 th most dangerous city in the US in 2014 38 homicides per 100K people St. Louis has higher homicide rates than similar cities
5
Variables Selected Education (e) Percentage of the population with a High School Education Median age (ma) Income (i) Poverty level (p) Percentage of vacant homes (v) Race Percentage of the population that is white (w) Percentage of the population that is African American (aa)
6
Data Collected Searching available data sources, identified the US Census Bureau as the source with data that can be best segmented among areas Selected 21 St. Louis City zip codes as subsections due to the availability of representative data for the areas that can be applied to homicides in those areas Data availability for neighborhoods not available and there was challenges accurately converting data into neighborhood classification
7
Data Collected Using average data of previous 4 years data to predict 2015 due to unavailability of 2014 data Tested the effects of “Year” using dummy variables Dummy variables for “Year” Insignificant in various scenarios SUMMARY OUTPUT Regression Statistics Multiple R0.137813923 R Square0.018992677 Adjusted R Square-0.017795097 Standard Error5.943583976 Observations84 ANOVA dfSSMSFSignificance F Regression354.7142857118.238095240.5162768750.672255836 Residual802826.09523835.32619048 Total832880.809524 CoefficientsStandard Errort StatP-valueLower 95%Upper 95%Lower 95.0%Upper 95.0% Intercept7.8571428571.2969963566.0579529184.26885E-085.27603785210.438247865.27603785210.43824786 D2013-1.2857142861.834229836-0.7009559330.485364402-4.9359479892.364519418-4.9359479892.364519418 D2012-1.9523809521.834229836-1.0644145640.290343155-5.6026146561.697852751-5.6026146561.697852751 D2011-21.834229836-1.0903758950.278820968-5.6502337041.650233704-5.6502337041.650233704

Model Building Ran regression models on each individual variable to identify most significant relationships over 84 samples of homicides per zip code per year Significant individual relationships Education (e) Income (i) Poverty (p) Race (w) (aa)
9
Alternative Variables Tested 20 multiple regression combinations to predict homicides based upon variables from the previous year 1. Education, Income, Poverty, Vacant Homes, Age & Race R-square- 0.598759 2. Education, Income, Vacant Homes, & Age R-square- 0.578521 3. Education, Income & Age R-square- 0.568169
