Places we left out, and places to read with care
No place is left out: every neighborhood in this race has residents to count.
Wissahickon Park (71.0 per 1,000 from 27 crimes among 380 residents), Blue Bell Hill (18.1 per 1,000 from 10 crimes among 551 residents) and Germantown, Penn Knox (62.3 per 1,000 from 163 crimes among 2,617 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.
