Interpreting the Arson Maps

When looking at the arson map for Southeast, 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 southeast part of the neighborhood. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live. Red areas on the arson rate map do not always indicate danger for Southeast residents who live there.

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Southeast has 1, always look like high-crime locations due to the large number of people and the low population nearby. Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Southeast has 14, have the same problem. Of Southeast’s 266,270 residents, few live near recreational areas. 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.
