Crime Maps

In the past, one thought which crossed my mind was how safe is the area I live in.

The saying goes "out of sight out of mind" but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I remember it was 7 years ago when a house burned down in my neighborhood because some criminal decided to cook drugs in his house.

There is a good tool to do get a good proxy. The website www.crimemapping.com lets you put in an area code and see all reported incidents to the police during a custom time range (although you can only run a history of about 6 months total).

After searching my zipcode, I saw at least 6 robberies, 2 dui, and 4 car break ins within a 6 month period.
