The population of Runaway Bay is low in neighborhoods around recreational areas, such as parks and airports. As such, crime rates may appear to be higher in areas near these places, but this is because crime happens where people congregate. However, crime is rare in neighborhoods where few people live. So, when deciding where to live, try to think about where you want to live. You'll want to avoid living near a park, unless you want to risk being targeted.
