Interpreting the Assault Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the south 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 Dupont Circle residents who live there.
More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Dupont Circle 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 Dupont Circle has 36, have the same problem. Of Dupont Circle’s 15,435 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.
