Interpreting the Drug-Related Crime Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the central part of the county. 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 Neshoba County residents who live there.

Major airports, of which Neshoba County 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 Neshoba County has 6, have the same problem. Of Neshoba County’s 28,993 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.
