Flagged neighbourhoods have far more businesses than residents: shopping streets, nightlife districts and station areas. Crimes are recorded where they happen, so what happens to visitors counts there too. The grade corrects for that footfall, but stays harder to compare with a residential area.

How often are these figures updated?
