Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Beechwood; Cross Green; Halton Moor; Seacroft. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
Wellington Hill (3.2 per 1,000 from 1 crime among 312 residents), Carlton (35.9 per 1,000 from 13 crimes among 362 residents), Churchfields (1.7 per 1,000 from 1 crime among 593 residents), Osmondthorpe (21.0 per 1,000 from 24 crimes among 1,141 residents), Monkswood (21.4 per 1,000 from 33 crimes among 1,540 residents), Middleton (66.6 per 1,000 from 110 crimes among 1,652 residents), Thorpe on the Hill (10.1 per 1,000 from 28 crimes among 2,777 residents) and Rothwell Haigh (18.4 per 1,000 from 53 crimes among 2,878 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.
