Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Clapham. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
Lambeth (30.6 per 1,000 from 10 crimes among 327 residents), London Waterloo (334.7 per 1,000 from 240 crimes among 717 residents), Waterloo (206.3 per 1,000 from 263 crimes among 1,275 residents) and London Waterloo East (78.3 per 1,000 from 231 crimes among 2,949 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.
