Interpreting the Murder Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the northeast part of the city. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live. Red areas on the murder rate map do not always indicate danger for Cleveland residents who live there.

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Cleveland has 6, have the same problem. Of Cleveland’s 89,668 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.
