Areas with multiple possible exits are more attractive working grounds for burglars and vehicle thieves, because they facilitate a quick getaway if needed and the chance of being trapped is slim.

One can improve the answer by not only looking at the number of exits (two or more being multiple and rating it yes), but also taking into account the layout and nature of the area. For example:

  • A district with two exits, but with an intricate network of roads to get from one exit to the other is unattractive to thieves and might rate a 'no', even if there are multiple exits.
  • A district with one enormous exit that is impossible to block might rate a 'yes'.
