There are several tools available online to help predict if an area is safe, but all these rely on crime data exploration and statistics to perform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the crime statistics of an area alone cannot help you detect bad neighborhoods, just as relying on realtors\u2019 statements cannot provide an unbiased picture of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-e03f450daa5fe115ec7ec46d66cf1416\">A great way to gauge a more reasonable picture of the state of an area is to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armormax.com\/blog\/how-to-know-if-your-neighborhood-is-safe-neighborhood-safety-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">crime mapping service<\/a> instead of relying on crime statistics. These services are available online for most states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put in the address of the neighborhood, and you will see crimes displayed on a map of the area, along with the type of crime and date it was committed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/hGWAHcz4R6ukeWMgPjDgVGdXCfjL7MPshkpZD4cx_XNlvN2QFh1wMbB_l2gTIOlLnroMa08LNzkDn_A9Nz9cbzhhhhCd7PNHXSbM6mzEHwSyv-8QHg7B64XX3DCE\" alt=\"A police car waits at a traffic light\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also check the number of home sales in the neighborhood to see if the neighborhood is safe. An excess of abandoned properties in a neighborhood may suggest that people are moving out as a result of unemployment, which isn\u2019t necessarily indicative of safety, but does suggest a lack of opportunity for work and the prevalence of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to dig deeper with your investigation by talking to the neighborhood residents. The residents will tell you their safety concerns and make recommendations on how they deal with such crimes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-8f2a069505dce44af8304ac849d530bd\">When checking out a new apartment, it is always wise to chat with neighbors to find out their opinions on the upkeep of the building. <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/apartment-security\/\">In this other post, we talk about ways to improve your apartment security<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-2f9f7922d9354dc2e7816d51fea8a0fd\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsopw.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Sex Offender Public Website<\/a> allows for address searches to see the details of sex crimes committed there.
