Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Ducks Island; East Barnet; Friern Barnet. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
Underhill (6.3 per 1,000 from 2 crimes among 320 residents), Arkley (9.6 per 1,000 from 6 crimes among 628 residents) and Totteridge (16.4 per 1,000 from 45 crimes among 2,748 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.
