The index is a composite of two sub-dimensions: harm-per-resident (rate) and absolute harm volume. A score of 29/100 is a relative index, not a percentile rank. Delft 1 & 2’s rate sub-index is 18/100 and its volume sub-index is 46/100. Full methodology is documented on the StreetSignal methodology page. Data period: Q4 2025/2026 (Jan–Mar 2026).

Delft 1 & 2 maps to the Delft SAPS precinct. The precinct serves a station population of 216,782 across multiple suburbs. StreetSignal assigns the primary precinct as the data source. All suburbs under the same precinct receive an identical safety index. This is a known limitation of precinct-level data: the score reflects the precinct as a whole, not any individual suburb within it.
