The index is a composite of two sub-dimensions: harm-per-resident (rate) and absolute harm volume. A score of 50/100 is a relative index, not a percentile rank. Sandown’s rate sub-index is 38/100 and its volume sub-index is 65/100. Full methodology is documented on the StreetSignal methodology page. Data period: Q4 2025/2026 (Jan–Mar 2026).
