How this is worked out: Oct. 12 to 18, 2026, against the weekly average of Sept. 14 to Oct. 11, with weeks running Monday to Sunday in Albuquerque time. A kind of call needs an average of 15 calls a week before to be ranked, and a neighborhood 25, because a percent on a few calls swings wildly. Names are the city's dispatch descriptions. Neighborhoods are the city's recognized neighborhood associations, which hold 60.4% of that week's calls; a call inside two counts in both. These are calls, not crimes or arrests, and calls with no location are left out, as on the rankings page. Source: City of Albuquerque calls for service, through Oct. 21, 2026. Every past week, month and year is in the snapshots.
