A little history

Southwestern District (north) in Baltimore. Baltimore was designated an independent city by the Constitution of Maryland in 1851. Its neighborhoods are grouped into nine geographical regions, including the Southwest, where West Hills, Rognel Heights and Edmondson Village lie.

Notable neighborhoods in Baltimore's Southwestern District (north) include:

Edmondson Village and Rognel Heights. Edmondson Village covers most of the Edmondson Avenue corridor and is made up of smaller communities, including Hunting Ridge, Uplands, Rognel Heights and Edgewood. A notable shopping center opened there in 1947. Rognel Heights sits between Hunting Ridge to the west and Edmondson Village to the east, and Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park begins at its northern edge.

Walbrook and West Hills. Walbrook is in West Baltimore along West North Avenue. Coppin State University is located there, and the neighborhood gave its name to the former Walbrook High School. West Hills lies in the Southwest District, with Franklintown to the north and Hunting Ridge to the east. The Baltimore County line forms its western boundary.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

No place is left out: every neighborhood in this race has residents to count.

Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park (5.8 per 1,000 from 1 crime among 174 residents), Fairmount (34.9 per 1,000 from 12 crimes among 344 residents), Mount Holly (32.0 per 1,000 from 30 crimes among 936 residents), Dickeyville (4.2 per 1,000 from 4 crimes among 945 residents), Franklintown Road (37.6 per 1,000 from 41 crimes among 1,089 residents), Franklintown (36.3 per 1,000 from 40 crimes among 1,101 residents), Uplands (18.6 per 1,000 from 24 crimes among 1,292 residents), Winchester (22.7 per 1,000 from 30 crimes among 1,321 residents), Walbrook (38.4 per 1,000 from 53 crimes among 1,381 residents), Rognel Heights (12.8 per 1,000 from 18 crimes among 1,411 residents), West Hills (10.9 per 1,000 from 17 crimes among 1,560 residents), Northwest Community Action (25.9 per 1,000 from 41 crimes among 1,586 residents) and Rosemont (29.3 per 1,000 from 51 crimes among 1,741 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.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighborhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighborhood.
