In this post, our focus will be on the methodology adopted by Neighborhood Scout, a company that continues to supply crime data to a wide range of users, including real estate agents, property managers, investors, and individual home buyers. They not only offer crime rates in each neighborhood but benchmark it against all other neighborhoods in the U.S. to show how it ranks. And even include your chances of becoming a victim of a violent crime. If this sounds impossible, well, it is.
