Which Minneapolis–Saint Paul neighborhoods had the highest number of victims in the scheme?

1. What the search results actually contain — civic programs and crime data, not a scheme

The returned links point to municipal pages about Saint Paul safety investments and neighborhood services (Project PEACE, Office of Neighborhood Safety, budget items) and to general crime-data tools and neighborhood profiles — for example Project PEACE and the Office of Neighborhood Safety descriptions on the City of Saint Paul website and the city budget note ^{[3] [4] [5]}. They do not present an account of a specific criminal “scheme” or list victims by neighborhood; that absence is the primary limitation of available reporting ^{[3] [4] [5]}.

2. Where you could find neighborhood-level victim counts if a scheme existed

Interactive crime maps and neighborhood profiles are the likely public sources to produce counts by neighborhood. The Saint Paul Crime Map is an active, neighborhood-level tool that updates monthly and could, in theory, show incident concentrations if the police published those incidents as crime reports ^[1]. MN Compass and other neighborhood-profile sites compile demographic and crime-trend data that researchers use to compare neighborhoods over time ^[2]. Neither of the current search results, however, contains a list of victims tied to a named scheme ^{[1] [2]}.

3. Why municipal safety pages matter — context, not attribution

City statements about new investments—such as Saint Paul’s Project PEACE and 2025 budget items—signal municipal concern about violence and safety and identify neighborhoods where officials plan to target prevention and services, but they are programmatic documents, not incident-level investigations ^{[3] [5]}. Those pages can explain which neighborhoods receive resources (e.g., investments for neighborhood safety grants and recreation programming) but they do not equate to counted victims of a particular criminal scheme ^{[3] [5]}.

4. Data quality and timing caveats you should note

Public-facing crime tools sometimes lag or withhold specific datasets; the Saint Paul Crime Map notes update delays and effects from a department digital security incident that slowed publication of up-to-date crime data — meaning short-term spikes or scheme-related incidents could be underreported while systems are recovering ^[1]. Any neighborhood rankings derived from these feeds should be treated as provisional unless corroborated by police press releases, court filings, or investigative journalism ^[1].

5. How to proceed to answer your original question reliably

To identify which Minneapolis–Saint Paul neighborhoods had the most victims in a named scheme you will need source material not present in these search results: police press releases, prosecutorial filings, investigative stories, or an explicit dataset from the cities’ police departments. The current results do not include those materials; therefore, they cannot support a neighborhood-by-neighborhood victim ranking (not found in current reporting) ^{[1] [3]}.

6. Competing viewpoints and what they would look like

Municipal officials frame problems as requiring prevention-plus-enforcement and allocate funds to neighborhood programs (Saint Paul’s Project PEACE and budget allocations) ^{[3] [5]}. Community groups and independent data platforms might instead emphasize per-capita victimization rates or structural causes (poverty maps and neighborhood profiles from Scioto Analysis and MN Compass), so any analysis of “most victims” should present both absolute counts and rates per resident to avoid misleading conclusions ^{[2] [6]}.

Limitations: These conclusions use only the returned search results; there is no source here that names a scheme or provides neighborhood victim counts attributed to one (not found in current reporting) ^{[3] [1] [2]}. If you can share the specific scheme name, a news article, or a police/court link, I will re-run this assessment using those documents.
