Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Bierley; Bowling; Town End. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
Tong Street (27.4 per 1,000 from 8 crimes among 292 residents), Lower Grange (15.6 per 1,000 from 5 crimes among 321 residents), Scholemoor (8.9 per 1,000 from 4 crimes among 449 residents), Crossley Hall (17.2 per 1,000 from 9 crimes among 523 residents), Clayton Heights (18.2 per 1,000 from 13 crimes among 714 residents), Pickles Hill (31.0 per 1,000 from 26 crimes among 839 residents), Haycliffe Hill (10.4 per 1,000 from 9 crimes among 863 residents), Slack Side (17.5 per 1,000 from 18 crimes among 1,026 residents), Buttershaw (15.7 per 1,000 from 19 crimes among 1,208 residents), Clayton (25.4 per 1,000 from 35 crimes among 1,377 residents), Beldon Hill (25.8 per 1,000 from 45 crimes among 1,743 residents), Holme Wood (42.6 per 1,000 from 82 crimes among 1,923 residents), Horton Bank Bottom (22.9 per 1,000 from 53 crimes among 2,314 residents) and Paradise Green (43.3 per 1,000 from 123 crimes among 2,842 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.
