I worked on a PD for many years, sometime in the mid 80's we got an order from city hall to NOT discuss crime rates and "good or bad" parts of town with citizens or those interested in moving in.
There were ways to get around it. You can try but to call but be aware that many communities forbid such discussions to avoid a bad image.
A more unbiased source of information is your insurance agent. They have communities broken down by sections (square miles) and crime rates are reflected in the rates.

I didn’t know that. Wow. I guess driving through an area would give an idea though also.@bowman81

@Keepitsimple anyone within 1/2 mile area is your "walking neighbor". Cities are sensitive to 'redlining' and such. They would rather hide bad areas than fix them.

That’s a shame people can’t find out the truth to determine if an area is good to live.@bowman81
