Places we left out, and places to read with care
No place is left out: every neighbourhood in this race has residents to count.
North Greenwich (365.3 per 1,000 from 206 crimes among 564 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.
