Interpreting the Assault Maps

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Silas has 0, have the same problem. Of Silas’s 1,160 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.
