The Intangible Cost of Crime in Cuba, ND

That intangible cost in Cuba totals $435,606 ($1,785 per resident), and all of it comes from violent crime rather than property loss. Added to the tangible costs, the full estimate reaches $570,494 ($2,338 per resident). All Cost of Crime figures come from scholarly research on the cost of crime.

Interpreting the Crime Maps

Crime rates on the map are measured per resident, so areas with heavy visitor traffic can read high because crime follows crowds, even where few people live. The city holds few retail establishments, which lifts recorded crime around those blocks. A red area does not always mean the neighborhood is unsafe for residents.

Airports, parks, and transit hubs create the same effect. Major airports draw large crowds with few residents nearby, so they read as high-crime spots. Parks and recreational areas do the same, and of Cuba's 244 residents few live beside them. Before assuming an area is unsafe, weigh both the per-capita rate and the total number of incidents, and note what sits nearby.
