Interpreting the Murder Maps

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Gerber has 0, have the same problem. Of Gerber’s 3,529 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.
