It's important to remember that crime statistics represent recorded incidents and don't necessarily reflect the full picture of community safety. They are a snapshot in time and can fluctuate. While these figures offer a useful comparison, individual experiences can vary, and vigilance remains important. The data reflects conditions as of the period it was gathered; future conditions may vary.
