Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Claremont Park; Crotona Park; Ferry Point Park-St. Raymond Cemetery; North & South Brother Islands; Yankee Stadium-Macombs Dam Park. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
Rikers Island is a jail complex rather than a residential neighborhood (0.3 per 1,000 from 1 crime among 2,950 residents), so it is not named as the lowest or highest. Soundview Park is a park with only about a hundred residents and a dozen recorded crimes (114.3 per 1,000 from 12 crimes among 105 residents), so it is not named as the lowest or highest.
