For example, there are more retail establishments in the central part of the county. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live.

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools. Major airports, of which Montgomery County has 0, always look like high-crime locations due to the large number of people and the low population nearby. Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Montgomery County has 18, have the same problem. Of Montgomery County’s 220,069 residents, few live near recreational areas. Because many people visit, crime rates may appear higher even for safe parks. Ultimately crime happens where people are, whether they live there or not.
