Interpreting the Vehicle Theft Maps

Red areas on the vehicle theft rate map do not always indicate danger for Cost residents who live there.

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools.

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Cost has 0, have the same problem. Of Cost’s 429 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.
