Years ago I built a free public crime map. We sold the company to LexisNexis in 2015, and the free map didn't survive the sale. So I built a new one. SwornPulse is free, it covers the whole country, and it maps a lot more than crime.
A crime dot on a map tells you where something bad happened. It doesn't tell you whether that neighborhood has a library, a clinic, a park, or a decent shot at a job. Safety is bigger than crime.
So SwornPulse maps the things that actually shape a community. Health and life expectancy. Income, poverty, and education. Housing. Service and volunteering. And yes, crime. Look at them together and you start to see the whole picture, not just the scary part.
Good Deeds Daily is on there too. Someone shovels an elderly neighbor's driveway, a stranger changes a tire in the rain, a teacher stays late for a kid who needed it. Those shape a community as much as any arrest report. They just never make the map. Now they do.

Every layer is a toggle. Turn on what you care about, stack them, and read them against each other. Zoom out for state and county patterns; zoom in for tract, ZIP, and street level.
Live incident feeds from a dozen cities pulled straight from their open-data portals, plus computer-aided dispatch records. Eight state-level crime rates from the FBI: violent, property, murder, assault, robbery, burglary, theft, and vehicle theft.
Point • StateSeventeen health metrics plus a wellbeing composite: life expectancy, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer deaths, drug overdose, suicide, mental health, food insecurity, air quality, and more.
StateTwenty Census measures at three zoom levels: income, poverty, employment, education, home value and rent, ownership, age, and racial and ethnic makeup. Down to the census tract and ZIP.
Tract • ZIP • State16,669 public library outlets and 2,406 YMCA locations, mapped as searchable pins. Plus a county Joy Index built from parks, gyms, restaurants, civic life, and food access.
Point • CountyOfficer staffing across nearly 17,000 law enforcement agencies, by state and county. Sex offender registry counts by state, shown with the required legal-use disclaimer.
State • CountyCitizen-reported acts of kindness through Good Deeds Daily, with addresses offset for privacy. Live volunteer openings near you through JustServe.
Point • LiveHeatmaps, trend lines, and sortable tables for whatever you have on screen. Radius search around any point. Export the visible view to CSV.
ToolsCongregation density and dominant religious tradition by county, from the 2020 U.S. Religion Census. Neutral coloring, no ranking, just the map.
CountyI taught crime analysis before I taught business strategy. I know what it is to need clean national data and hit a paywall or a dead portal. SwornPulse pulls a lot of public data into one place so you can see it on a map. Use it to teach a class, explore a question, or form a hypothesis before you spend a grant on the raw dataset.
Some layers ship with demo or sample records while live pipelines come online, and survey-based estimates carry the usual margins of error. Treat SwornPulse as a fast way to see and compare, then confirm against the primary source before you publish.
It's free, it works on your phone, and there's nothing to sign up for. Turn on a few layers and see what your community actually looks like.
