Interpreting the Drug-Related Crime Maps

When looking at the drug-related crime map for Shiawassee County, remember that the rate of drug-related crime per resident may appear inflated when people visit the area during the day, but do not live there. For example, there are more retail establishments in the north 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 Shiawassee County residents who live there.

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Shiawassee 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 Shiawassee County has 14, have the same problem. Of Shiawassee County’s 68,499 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. 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.
