Interpreting the Assault Maps

When looking at the assault map for 38018, remember that the rate of assault 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 central part of the zip. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live.
