Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Queenstown; Revoe. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

Norbreck (19.6 per 1,000 from 7 crimes among 358 residents) is a place with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so it is not named as the lowest or highest.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighbourhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighbourhood.
