Interpreting the Arson Maps

When looking at the arson map for 17529, remember that the rate of arson per resident may appear inflated when people visit the area during the day, but do not live there. For example, there are more retail establishments in the north part of the zip. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live.

Because many people visit, crime rates may appear higher even for safe parks. Ultimately crime happens where people are, whether they live there or not. Before writing off an area as unsafe, look at both the crime rate and total crime maps, then consider nearby destinations that people may be visiting.
