Interpreting the Vehicle Theft 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.

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

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Madison County has 22, have the same problem. Of Madison County’s 101,501 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.
