Interpreting the Murder Maps

When looking at the murder map for Pylesville, remember that the rate of murder 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 southeast 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 Pylesville residents who live there.

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools.

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.
