14,806 civic reports in 2021–2025, equal to
56.06 per 10,000. The recent-period comparison shows
a rising share of local civic coverage: 53.99 in 2021–2023 versus 59.90
in 2024–2025. The city's peak normalized year was 2023.
The classifier marked authority or institutional action in 3 reports (3.6%) and conclusion language in 1 (1.2%). These are article-level signals: repeated coverage can
refer to the same underlying event, and the markers do not prove official resolution.
1,647 tagged reports appeared within
297,207 civic reports in 2021–2025, equal to
55.42 per 10,000. The recent-period comparison shows
a rising share of local civic coverage: 53.34 in 2021–2023 versus 58.64
in 2024–2025. The city's peak normalized year was 2025.
The classifier marked authority or institutional action in 183 reports (11.1%) and conclusion language in 71 (4.3%). These are article-level signals: repeated coverage can
refer to the same underlying event, and the markers do not prove official resolution.
32 tagged reports appeared within
6,520 civic reports in 2021–2025, equal to

a falling share of local civic coverage: 71.63 in 2021–2023 versus 15.32
in 2024–2025. The city's peak normalized year was 2021.
The classifier marked authority or institutional action in 2 reports (6.2%) and conclusion language in 1 (3.1%). These are article-level signals: repeated coverage can
refer to the same underlying event, and the markers do not prove official resolution.

How Prism Geo built this ranking
Universe: 45 Indian cities with an existing Prism Geo city manifest; conservative legacy names such as Bangalore/Bengaluru are merged.
Window: complete calendar years 2021–2025. Partial 2026 data is excluded.
Signal: the exact source tag traffic_accident; topic variants are not silently combined.
Score: tagged reports ÷ all civic reports × 10,000; raw volume is shown alongside it.
Coverage, action, and conclusion figures are classifier outputs. Multiple reports can concern one event, and absence of coverage is not absence of a problem.
Source: marketai.civic_geo_agg. This dataset supports comparison of reporting patterns only; it cannot establish actual case counts, risk, prevalence, or official performance.
