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 east part of the neighborhood holds more 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, of which Fort Columbus Airport has 1, draw large crowds with few residents nearby, so they read as high-crime spots. Parks and recreational areas do the same, and of Fort Columbus Airport's 5,219 residents few live beside them.
