Interpreting the Theft Maps

When looking at the theft map for Glendale, remember that the rate of theft 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 southwest part of the neighborhood. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live. Red areas on the theft rate map do not always indicate danger for Glendale residents who live there.

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

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Glendale has 9, have the same problem. Of Glendale’s 5,893 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.
