I have recently moved, and I would like to know %26quot;How safe is the neighborhood I
live in?%26quot; I live at 6551 Locke Ave. (zip 76116) in Fort Worth, Texas. Thank
you for
responding to my question. jd
Hello, JD. Congratulations on your recent move.
Different sources provide different measurements about your city and
neighborhood.
The ranking for your ZIP code, 76116, is four on a scale of one to ten.
According to APB%26#146;s News Crime check, a four represents the lower end of a
moderate risk for crime. A rating of %26#147;one indicates your risk of violent crime
is less than one-fifth the national average.%26#148; A rating of ten %26#147;indicates the
risk is 10 times the national average or more.%26quot;

Best of luck in your new neighborhood,

It is foolish to give out your address like that. Also, are you talking safety
just in terms of crime, or other safety factors as well?
However, I do have a page that will help answer your question in a way other
than raw crime statistics for your city. Take a look at this page:
http://www.ersys.com/usa/48/4827000/index.htm
Now, click on the different Demographics on the left hand side of the screen.
You%26#39;ve got age, density, education, ethnicity, families, growth, income, and
skills. And they are overlayed onto a map so you can see exactly where you area
fits and how it relates to the areas around it. When I buy my next home, I%26#39;m
going to use this data, for sure!
BTW, you can also pull up air quality, general radon risk, and a few other
things. Interesting stuff. It probably doesn%26#39;t COMPLETELY answer your question,
but that%26#39;ll give you a few good things to go on. I would have done some more
research and given a real ANSWER to your question, but I%26#39;m not authorized to do
that yet.
Enjoy the website. Who knows HOW they make money off of it.
