Interpreting the Assault Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the north part of the neighborhood. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live. Red areas on the assault rate map do not always indicate danger for Colonial Heights residents who live there.
More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Colonial Heights has 0, 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 Colonial Heights has 3, have the same problem. Of Colonial Heights’s 3,076 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.
