Interpreting the Burglary Maps

When looking at the burglary map for Brookfield, remember that the rate of burglary per resident may appear inflated when people visit the area during the day, but do not live there. For example, there are more retail establishments in the south part of the city. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live. Red areas on the burglary rate map do not always indicate danger for Brookfield residents who live there.

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

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Brookfield has 1, have the same problem. Of Brookfield’s 18,089 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.
