FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics (UCR) and demographic information to the RiskMeter Online's Crime Report

Boston, MA, January 2006 – CDS Business Mapping, LLC., a leader in online property risk mapping, today announced it has added the latest FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics (UCR) and demographic information to the RiskMeter Online’s (www.RiskMeter.com) crime report.  This cutting-edge report provides users with crime risk scores for any location in the United States.
By simply typing an address, the RiskMeter Online will return ten scores for a given location. Seven scores are for individual locations, which are rolled up into two categories (Violent & Property Crimes).  In addition, an overall crime score is given as well.  Below is an example of what is returned.
•       Aggregate Crime Index (Overall Score)
- Violent Crimes (Combines the 4 below)
- Murder
- Rape
- Robbery
- Assault
- Property Crimes (Combines the 3 below)
- Burglary
- Larceny
-  Motor Vehicle Theft
  “The main benefit of the RiskMeter Online’s crime report is that it allows insurers to accurately evaluate crime risk in a neighborhood, without the need to actually visit, “ explains Dan Munson, VP of Sales and Marketing, CDS Business Mapping.  “This report has been particularly useful to companies writing habitational dwellings, commercial property and commercial liability coverages.  Although losses are inevitable, companies that use the RiskMeter’s crime report will be able to easily identify areas that have crime problems.  In addition, this report will also allow insurers to ask crucial follow up questions about certain policies, and it will also enable them to establish vital underwriting guidelines.  For more information on this report, please contact Daniel Munson at 617.737.444 or dmunson@cdsys.com
About RiskMeter.com
For property underwriters and agents who are looking to increase accuracy, productivity and overall speed of operations, the RiskMeter Online (www.RiskMeter.com) is an Internet application used to automate property risk reports.  By simply typing in an address users can get back natural hazard information for a given policy location.  The RiskMeter can perform more than 30 different lookups, including distance to coast, rating territory, flood zone, windpool eligibility, proximity to brush and EQ hazards.  Unlike conventional paper-based lookups, the RiskMeter Online provides you with accurate, efficient and defendable positions up to 90% faster than existing methodologies.
