Interpreting the Drug-Related Crime Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the south 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 Garfield Park residents who live there.

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Garfield Park has 1, have the same problem. Of Garfield Park’s 17,044 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.
