Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Baltimore Peninsula; Carroll - Camden Industrial Area; Carroll Park; Curtis Bay Industrial Area; Fairfield Area; Middle Branch/Reedbird Parks; Saint Paul; Spring Garden Industrial Area; Stadium/Entertainment Area. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
Hawkins Point (48.3 per 1,000 from 7 crimes among 145 residents), Locust Point Industrial Area (32.0 per 1,000 from 7 crimes among 219 residents), Barre Circle (23.5 per 1,000 from 8 crimes among 340 residents), Ridgely's Delight (28.0 per 1,000 from 17 crimes among 608 residents), Mount Winans (19.7 per 1,000 from 13 crimes among 661 residents), Key Highway (1.0 per 1,000 from 1 crime among 989 residents), Sharp-Leadenhall (22.9 per 1,000 from 25 crimes among 1,091 residents), Westport (45.1 per 1,000 from 56 crimes among 1,241 residents), Union Square (19.3 per 1,000 from 26 crimes among 1,346 residents), Carrollton Ridge (62.3 per 1,000 from 108 crimes among 1,735 residents), Mount Clare (28.4 per 1,000 from 50 crimes among 1,763 residents), Hollins Market (27.6 per 1,000 from 50 crimes among 1,812 residents), Federal Hill (54.2 per 1,000 from 106 crimes among 1,955 residents) and Otterbein (11.0 per 1,000 from 26 crimes among 2,372 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.
