I dunno, maybe because West Englewood (population 35,000, area 3.15 square miles) had 70 violent crimes (including 4 homicides) reported in the 30 day period March 8th through April 7th, plus 92 property crimes and 113 "quality of life crimes" (narcotics, prostitution, etc.)
That's what? 1.27 homicides per square mile in one month? 22.6 violent crimes and 29.2 property crimes per square mile.
