Places we left out, and places to read with care
Left out: Central Park; Highbridge Park; Inwood Hill Park. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
Randall's Island (40.9 per 1,000 from 98 crimes among 2,395 residents) is a place with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so it is not named as the lowest or highest.
