    They wouldn’t need to label them as bad to inform users. It’s possible to display crime statistics without bias.

      Except that still has the same effect and simply amplifies the result of shitty policies.

      That would still entrench the area - How would a change of bad to good reflect on google maps? How quickly would that change show up?

      Crime statistics come preloaded with systemic bias for your convenience.
