The statistics are broken down per capita. It's why Boston who had 39 homicides versus our 9 is further down(up?) on the list than us- they have a larger population. If you did their numbers with our population they'd be # 1.
Hadley has a small population so their incidents equate to a higher per capita.

Yea, exactly. The idea is how likely you are to be a victim in said location. Its still a statistic, so certainly not a perfect measure.
