Red areas on the assault rate map do not always indicate danger for Maryland residents who live there.
More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools.

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Maryland has 0, have the same problem. Of Maryland’s 1,572 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.
