Interpreting the Robbery Maps

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

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.
