Theft at businesses

It is clear that there are two hotspots for thefts in businesses. Not surprisingly they more or less correspond to where the majority of the businesses are.

Theft in Parking lots, driveways, etc.

This is primarily theft from automobiles. Again, a big hotspot around Yale and 19th.

Theft from residences

Note that this is not breaking and entering - that would be burglary. Presumably this is stealing things off a porch, or out of the yard, or an open garage.

Theft on the street

I'm guessing that this has to be stealing stuff from cars parked on the street.

Auto Theft from a parking lot, driveway, etc.

It appears that around the old Fiesta was a hotspot for auto theft. Although maybe it had more to do with all the used car dealerships?

Auto theft off the street

Not sure if there are any meaningful patterns here. The numbers are rather low, so it may be a more or less random scatter.

Burglary at businesses

It is interesting to contrast this map with thefts from businesses. This map seems to be much more concentrated along good escape routes - major thoroughfares.

Burglary of residences

Residential burglary seems to be largely equal opportunity. The only interesting anomaly I see is the higher rate of burglary in the north-east corner of the Heights.

Robbery of businesses

Now to scary crime - robbery. Clear hotspot at Yale and 20th - Kroger, CVS, and Walgreens?

Robbery in a parking lot, driveway, etc.

A few hotspots - Kroger?

Robbery on the street (mugging)

I interpret being robbed on the street as being mugged. In the interactive tool we will be able to look at the locations at different times of day.

Robbery of a residence

Thankfully the most frightening crime - being held up in your home - is pretty rare. If there is a bias it seems that the little strip between Durham and Shepherd is more at risk than other areas, but the difference is small.
