Interpreting the Vandalism Maps

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

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Newell 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 Newell has 0, have the same problem. Of Newell’s 1,807 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.
