RE: Confused about numbers and graphs

You're correct that the stats cited in text are year-to-date, while the two bar graphs are September 2008 vs. September 2009. We'll work on a couple of new charts that are year-to-date to make it less confusing.

The graphs refer to Greater Central District, what are the boundaries of the "Greater Central District" of which they are collecting data?

I assumed it was the area represented by the 4 beats combined (detailed on the precinct map). My guess, anyway.

The police beats don't neatly match neighborhood boundaries, so the stats above include beats G1, G2, G3, and C3. Those include all of the Central District, Madrona, Leschi, Madison Valley, Montlake, and Madison Park.
You can see the map here: http://www.cityofseattle.net/police/images/Maps/East_Print.p |

Robbery is where they take stuff directly from you - a mugging, for example.
Burglary is where they break into your house and maybe they take something, maybe not. The key is that they broke in. Theft is where they take something - like from their burglary, or maybe from your car. |

Robbery: Up 44%
Burglaries: Up 4%
The graph showing Sept 08 vs. Sept 09 looks like:
Robbery: Up 5%
Burglaries: Up 100%
I realize the numbers are annual and the graph is month-of-September-year-to-year comparison, so it's possible all of the displayed data is correct. But it makes me wonder if Robberies/Burglaries got swapped somewhere in Excel, too.
