Income Inequality vs Property Crime

Income Inequality vs Property Crime

So I got this idea in my head that areas of New York State with a lot of property crime would be areas with a lot of wealth inequality -- some place like Westchester, Manhattan or Ithaca. After all, people in poverty might want to steal the color television from the mansion up the street. But comparing property rates to GINI indexes in New York, the correlation between wealth inequality and property seems fairly weak to say the least.
