Interpreting the Drug-Related Crime Maps

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Oklahoma County has 0, always look like high-crime locations due to the large number of people and the low population nearby.

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. Before writing off an area as unsafe, look at both the crime rate and total crime maps, then consider nearby destinations that people may be visiting.
