Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Buckland End; Minworth; Over Green; Perry Barr. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
Tyburn (358.9 per 1,000 from 103 crimes among 287 residents), Grove End (2.6 per 1,000 from 1 crime among 379 residents), Adderley Park (58.6 per 1,000 from 29 crimes among 495 residents) and Walmley (9.0 per 1,000 from 7 crimes among 781 residents) are places with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so they are not named as the lowest or highest.
