Denver Data Tools
Denver publishes a great deal of data and almost none of it is usable by a person standing on a street corner. These tools do the digging and hand you the answer in the form the question was asked in.

This week's Denver crime report
What was reported in the last seven days, against last week and last year, by neighborhood and offence type. Written from the data — no map to pan.
Is it safe around here?
5 toolsReported incidents, crashes and 311 requests, normalised per neighborhood rather than dumped as raw counts.
Crime & Safety Map
Is this Denver neighborhood safe?
Reported offences from Denver Police open records, mapped by neighborhood over a rolling 30-, 90- or 180-day window. Homicide and sexual assault are excluded. Counts are shown against the neighborhood's own baseline, because a raw total mostly measures how many people are on the street.
Weekly Crime Report
Is crime in Denver going up or down this week?
A written weekly report from Denver Police open data: how many offences were reported in the last seven days, how that compares with the week before and the same week last year, which categories and neighborhoods moved most, and what it means. Refreshed every week, in plain language, with no map to pan.
Traffic Accidents Map
Which Denver intersections and roads are the most dangerous?
Five years of Denver Police crash records, filterable by severity and by whether a pedestrian, cyclist or impaired driver was involved, with the ten worst neighborhoods ranked.
311 Service Requests
Where are the potholes, graffiti and unplowed streets in Denver?
Every 311 service request Denver residents have filed — potholes, graffiti, snow, abandoned vehicles, trash — mapped by type and neighborhood. It is the best available proxy for which blocks the city is actually maintaining.
Noise & Nightlife Map
Is this block in Denver loud at night?
311 noise complaints as a heat map. Because complaint density tracks bars, venues and late licences, it doubles as the most honest map of where Denver's nightlife actually is — and of which residential blocks sit next to it.
How do I get there and where do I park?
4 toolsTransit stops, bike lanes, scooters and parking restrictions around venues and event nights.
Light Rail & Transit Map
How do I get to this Denver venue on the light rail?
Every RTD rail and bus stop with live arrival times, so you can work out which train reaches a venue before doors and which one gets you home after the encore.
Parking Guide
Where do I park for a game or show in Denver?
City parking restrictions mapped around Ball Arena, Coors Field, Empower Field and the downtown venues, with the rules that apply on an event night rather than the ones posted for a Tuesday afternoon.
Bike & Walk Map
Which Denver neighborhoods are walkable, and where are the protected bike lanes?
Denver's bike facility network split by protection level — protected lanes, painted lanes, trails — alongside the city's pedestrian demand index, so "walkable" is a measured claim rather than a listing adjective.
Live Scooter Map
Where is the nearest scooter in Denver right now?
Every available Veo scooter in Denver, read live from the operator's GBFS feed. This is the only tool here whose answer changes minute to minute.
Where should I eat and drink?
4 toolsLicensed bars, breweries, dispensaries, food trucks and restaurant inspection history.
Restaurant Health Scores
Has this Denver restaurant passed its health inspection?
Licensed food establishments with their inspection and licence history, searchable by name. Colorado publishes inspections per establishment rather than as a letter grade, so this shows the record rather than inventing a score.
Bars & Breweries Map
Where are all the bars and breweries in Denver?
Every currently licensed bar, brewery, taproom and tavern in Denver, taken from liquor licence records rather than from a listings site — so it includes the places that never bothered to claim a profile.
Food Truck Map
Where are the food trucks in Denver today?
Permitted mobile food vendors in Denver with their licence status. The permit tells you who is allowed to trade; pair it with the events map to work out where they will actually be parked.
Dispensary Map
Where is the nearest dispensary in Denver?
Licensed cannabis retail and medical facilities in Denver from the city's licence register, filterable by licence type.
What is opening and what is being built?
3 toolsNew liquor and business licences, commercial permits and road closures, as they are filed.
New Business Tracker
What just opened near me in Denver?
Businesses that have taken out a new licence in Denver in recent months — restaurants, bars, entertainment and retail — geocoded and sorted by how recently the licence was issued.
Opening Soon
What is opening soon in Denver?
Businesses that have filed for a licence but have not opened yet — the gap between the paperwork and the ribbon-cutting, which is where the story usually is.
Construction & Closures
What is being built in Denver, and which roads are closed?
Active commercial construction permits alongside current road closures, so you can see both what is going up and what it is doing to your route tonight.
What is worth going to see?
2 toolsParks, trails, historic landmarks and public art across the city.
Parks Map
Which Denver park has a dog park, a pool or a trail?
Every park in the Denver Parks and Recreation register with its amenities — dog parks, pools, trails, playgrounds — so you can search by what you want to do rather than by name.
Historic Landmarks
Which buildings in Denver are historic landmarks?
Denver's designated landmark structures and historic districts, with the designation behind each one — useful before you buy, renovate, or just want to know what you are looking at.
What does living here cost?
2 toolsRent by neighborhood, housing market movement and cost-of-living comparisons.
Rent Map
What does rent cost by neighborhood in Denver?
Asking rent by Denver neighborhood, so you can see what a bedroom costs in RiNo against what it costs in Berkeley before you start looking.
Neighborhood Vitality
Which Denver neighborhood should I live in?
All 25 covered neighborhoods scored side by side on the signals that actually differ between them — venues, new licences, transit access, complaint density — rather than on a single composite nobody can interrogate.
Building on this data?
17 of these tools are backed by a public JSON endpoint that takes a Denver neighborhood slug or a map viewport, and an assistant can read a whole neighborhood in one call at /api/denver-data/neighborhood/{slug}.
City datasets come from the Denver Open Data Catalog under the city's terms of use; transit data from RTD; demographic and rent baselines from the US Census Bureau. These tools are for general orientation, not a substitute for official records, and none of them should be used to make a decision about a specific person or address.
