Interpreting the Drug-Related Crime Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the northeast part of the neighborhood. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live. Red areas on the drug-related crime rate map do not always indicate danger for Charleston residents who live there.
More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Charleston 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 Charleston has 0, have the same problem. Of Charleston’s 6,838 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.
