Question 1

What is the Hate Index (Hatedex)?

Accepted Answer

Hate Index is a free, public intelligence console that maps and analyzes antisemitic incidents across the United States. It combines 35 years of FBI Crime Data Explorer records (1991–2024) with live official police feeds and verified national incident tracking, synced daily, deduplicated, and plotted on an interactive map with statistics and a searchable records table.

Question 2

Where does Hate Index get its data?

Accepted Answer

Four kinds of sources: the FBI Crime Data Explorer (hate crime records from 1991–2024), live official city police open-data feeds (including NYPD, Austin PD, and Bloomington PD), and Track Antisemitism (verified, news-sourced national incidents). Every incident links to its source. The full pipeline is documented on the How We Get This Data page.

Question 3

How often is the Hate Index updated?

Accepted Answer

The dataset syncs daily. Live police feeds and verified national incident sources are re-pulled, deduplicated against existing records, and published automatically.

Question 4

Is the Hate Index data complete?

Accepted Answer

No dataset of antisemitic incidents is complete — the FBI itself documents heavy underreporting, and most cities publish no bias-crime data at all. Hate Index is a verified floor, not a ceiling: it shows 100% of what its official sources publish in machine-readable form, with every record traceable to its source.

Question 5

Who built the Hate Index?

Accepted Answer

Hate Index was built by Oze Botach, Founder & CEO of the software engineering firm ENDUURE and CTO of Botach. He is Jewish, and built the console to track data about his own community properly.

Question 6

What is ENDUURE?

Accepted Answer

ENDUURE is a software engineering firm founded by Oze Botach that builds production software — platforms, infrastructure, and internal tools. ENDUURE engineered every layer of the Hate Index console.

Question 7

Is Hate Index free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hate Index is free and public. No account, no paywall. The methodology, data sources, and limitations are fully documented in the open.

Question 8

Which city had the most antisemitic incidents?

Accepted Answer

On the live map, New York City consistently records the highest count of any U.S. city, reflecting both its large Jewish population and the NYPD’s unusually complete public hate-crime reporting. Use the map’s search and per-capita modes to compare cities and states.
