Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Rounds Green. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
Portway (5.1 per 1,000 from 2 crimes among 392 residents) and Brades Village (10.5 per 1,000 from 7 crimes among 665 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.
