If San Francisco Crime were Elevation

I’ve been playing with different ways of representing data (see my previous night lights example) and I decided to venture into 3D representations. I’ve used a full year of crime data for San Francisco from 2009 to create these maps. The full dataset can be download from the city’s DataSF website.

A view from above
This view shows different types of crime in San Francisco viewed directly from above. The sun is shining from the east, as it would during sunrise.

Across the board I see a concentration down Market Street. If you have a second, click through - there are alternate views and all in all it's interesting to see.
