March Stats Are In!

I’ve updated the spreadsheets for District Court of Maryland statistics from January 2005 to March 2013 and added a link to them on the sidebar ——->

After I wrote them about the errors in the last batch of numbers, the District Court number people updated the December 2012 and January 2013 numbers so that they’re (hopefully) correct now.

All data in these spreadsheets is taken from the statistics pdfs posted on the District Court of Maryland website located here and has been converted to a spreadsheet format for analysis.

Because my primary focus is crime trends in the larger jurisdictions (Baltimore City particularly), in addition to statistics for the State of Maryland as a whole I’ve taken the statistics for Baltimore City (primary focus), Baltimore County (large jurisdiction, adjacent to Baltimore City), and Prince George’s County (2nd largest, comparable issues) and added simple formulas to determine non-Baltimore-City data (cleverly labeled “non-city” in the spreadsheet) and non-big-3 data (labeled “remainder,” but so-labeled with love).

Open Office version
MS Excel version

The files are labeled “Core Stats” because they include only the published statistics and a simple formula for non-city and non-big-3 numbers. This makes it 1) easier to update and 2) easier for data-nerds out there to shape to fit their needs. Sorry if the month averaging screws you up for 2013, but it’s simple enough to remove if you want.

Also, I have a page 2 now!
