File talk:Chicago violent crime map 2006.png

I think this map is very misleading. To some, it may seem that Fuller Park is extremely dangerous. As many people are unable to quickly perform math problems, they will see "red" and "greater than 4,000" and possible be led to believe there are over 4,000 violent crimes in Fuller Park. However, the map clearly labels that it shows the number of violent crimes per 100,000 residents. I doubt there's a single Chicago community area with 100,000 residents. If you divided the city's population (guessing around 2,800,000) by the number of community areas (77), you only get 36,363 people per community area. Perhaps the map should be recreated to show violent crimes per 10,000 residents. --Stevevance (talk) 22:27, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
