Interpreting the Drug-Related Crime Maps

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Platte County has 5, have the same problem. Of Platte County’s 8,921 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.
