Interpreting the Assault Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the central part of the city. 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 Solon residents who live there.

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools.

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Solon has 0, have the same problem. Of Solon’s 25,529 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.
