What exactly is this measuring?

Any place where there is even 1, is too much.

Dark Green = Rape is virtually non existent (0/100,000 population reported).
Green = Rape is rare (1-10/100,000 population reported ).
Yellow = Rape is common (11-30/100,000 population reported).
Red = Rape regularly occurs (31-60/100,000 population reported).
Dark Red = Rape is the norm (>60/100,000 population reported).

Actual criminal complaints or self-reported via individual survey? If the former, these numbers are too low.
