London Boroughs with most frequent crimes

The mean and median summarize numeric data, but for a categorical variable like "Borough," you need the mode: the category that occurs most frequently in the dataset.

Imagine every individual crime report has a "Borough" column. The borough that appears most often in those records is the mode for that crime type. In the app, the "Total Incidents" column shows how many times each borough appears, so the borough with the highest total IS the most frequently occurring category (the mode).

Use the dropdown to switch between crime types, sort by count, and identify the mode for Vehicle Offences and Burglary.
