Methodology note
STATLAS treats safety index as a comparable indicator, not a complete judgment about a place. Values are stored with source family, year, confidence, and refresh date. When source series differ by geography, STATLAS keeps the source visible and avoids hiding uncertainty behind a single opaque grade.
