Interpreting the Vandalism Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the central part of the county. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live.

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Pendleton County has 1, have the same problem. Of Pendleton County’s 5,486 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.
