CRIME INDEX FOR POPULATION GROUPS - 2013
The presentation of crime statistics by population groups was made for the purpose of projecting, for consideration, the relative crime experience of communities of varying populations. Although the individual municipalities within the various groups may be geographically separated, their inclusion into a specific
group was predicated by the similarity in population with the other municipalities within the group. Municipalities within the same group may differ widely when
all factors are considered, but they do share the common bond of population size. The grouping of communities in this manner allows recognition of variances
in the crime volumes, rates and clearances between the established groups.
Set forth below are the established municipal groupings as used in this section:
