It would be very helpful to also see where Narberth police have responded to burglaries, because that's who would normally respond to incidents in Narberth.

This is very clever and a real service by PATCH. As we can see, most of burglaries were near City Ave and Philadelphia. good work and all the best in your continuing endeavors to keep us informed.

all the best to you and your colleagues in the New Year and have a safe and meaningful Christmas or Chanukah and a prosperous New Year

How about a reverse-report; that is, all the homes/businesses that were not burglarized; given the density of housing, I would expect that most of them were also near City Line Avenue...Philadelphia.

It is almost a certainty that fewer business and homes near City Line were not burglarized than were. Nevertheless, this is where there is a concentration of burglaries according to police statistics which, as far as I know, are reliable.

I don't understand your point.

Having lived most of my life in Penn Valley and Merion and then on the fringes of Northern Libs in North Philly frankly, it appears that I might have been safer in the latter. But there should be a way to calculate population density, criminal activity and proximity to the city but I do not believe that is the subject. The subject is 'those people' vs us. Personally, I find the speculation objectionable.

The map provides reliable and useful data and shows where, not who, commits the crimes.
