I analyzed Houston crime data over 4 years and this is the result

I don't know about you guys, but I have been hearing NON STOP how our crime is out of control. I decided to find out for myself if this is true by downloading crime data from HPD. See source below. I only spent about 30 minutes, so certain things are not accounted for, like population growth. I would expect that the total number of crimes should increase in proportion with population.

But anyways, please check it out. I don't think it's as bad as they say.
