Reporting on DFW Metroplex KPIs
Louis Darrouzet, Founder & Chief Executive Officer for the Metroplex Civic and Business Association (MCBA) organization continues reporting on the comparative crime performance metrics for the two largest cities in DFW.
In November ’23, Downtown Dallas’ crime score was ~6x higher than Downtown Ft. Worth. There
were 14x more car thefts, 4x more assaults, and 30x more instances of property damage in Downton Dallas.

It is hard to determine how much of a “drop” Dallas really had since they have changed their reporting methods; now requiring a swath of crimes to be reported online.
