Interpreting the Vehicle Theft Maps
When looking at the vehicle theft map for 1st Ward, remember that the rate of vehicle 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 vehicle theft rate map do not always indicate danger for 1st Ward residents who live there.
More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which 1st Ward 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 1st Ward has 0, have the same problem. Of 1st Ward’s 3,117 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.
