Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Holt Park; Moor Side; Pool Bank; Weeton. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
East Carlton (11.5 per 1,000 from 2 crimes among 174 residents), Castley (3.8 per 1,000 from 1 crime among 261 residents), Rotherford (3.8 per 1,000 from 2 crimes among 522 residents), Pool-in-Wharfedale (1.7 per 1,000 from 1 crime among 584 residents) and Old Bramhope (6.6 per 1,000 from 5 crimes among 753 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.
