Tucson Fire: 6.7 TCR = 208% of Fire Protection BLS 3.2 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tucson Fire safety composite

Tucson Fire scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 40%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
