Interpreting the Theft Maps

When looking at the theft map for Prattville, 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 central part of the city. 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 Prattville residents who live there.

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Prattville has 0, always look like high-crime locations due to the large number of people and the low population nearby. Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Prattville has 3, have the same problem. Of Prattville’s 50,377 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. 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.
