Red areas on the vandalism rate map do not always indicate danger for Council residents who live there.

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Council has 0, have the same problem. Of Council’s 381 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.
