What this map shows
A metro-level view of antisemitic threat activity across the United States, indexed to each metro’s own recent baseline. It is built to answer one question: where is activity unusual right now, and which way is it moving — not to publish raw incident counts or pinpoint individual locations. The smallest unit shown is always a metropolitan area; no location below metro/state granularity is ever published.

The three categories
Physical Security
Documented antisemitic incidents with a real-world, in-person dimension — assault, vandalism, harassment, and threats directed at people, property, or community institutions. This is a record of things that have happened.
Threat Intelligence
Early-warning signals drawn from open-source monitoring — extremist mobilization and organized activity that can precede or accompany incidents. A leading indicator: it tracks the surrounding environment and intent, not incidents that have already been logged.
Protests & Demonstrations
Antisemitic protests and public demonstrations, tracked as their own category rather than folded into Physical Security or Threat Intelligence — neither a completed incident nor a covert mobilization signal, so it gets its own read on where and how activity is trending.
How to read it
Reading the map
- Color = activity vs. baseline. Each metro is compared against its own trailing 90-day norm: Quiet (below), Normal (near), Elevated (above), High (well above). Color measures change, not absolute danger — a small community that doubles its usual activity can read “High” while a large city with steady volume reads “Normal.”
- Size = relative volume. A bubble’s size reflects how much activity that metro has compared to the other metros currently shown — not an exact count. The busiest metro in any view is the largest bubble.
- Arrow = direction. Rising, steady, or easing, versus the immediately preceding period of equal length.
- Time windows. 1 month, 3 months, and 12 months. Aggregation is monthly at the finest; the map never exposes daily or weekly timing.
Method, briefly
Activity is aggregated to major U.S. metropolitan areas and shown only where it clears a minimum reporting threshold, so no single location can be inferred. Elevation is a ratio of the selected window’s activity rate to the metro’s 90-day baseline rate. Figures are indexed and relative by design; this map is a measure of pattern and change, not a casualty or incident ledger.
This map draws on the same underlying signal stream as the Community Risk Index — the index compresses it to a single national number; this map shows where it’s concentrated. Institutions wanting entity-specific monitoring should see Mitzpe’s Diaspora Security Practice .
