This site will produce an assessment of your RELATIVE risk of crime, based on
your zipcode:
http://www.apbnews.com/index.html
The rating for zipcode 76116 came out as a %26#39;4%26#39; on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is
the least risk (less than 1 fifth the national average), and 10 is the highest
risk (10 times the national average!). A rating of %26#39;4%26#39; corresponds to a low-
moderate risk (i.e. it was at the bottom end of the %26#39;moderate%26#39; risk band), so I
would conclude that your neighbourhood is %26#39;averagely safe%26#39;, or perhaps even
slightly better than average!
The rating is calculated on various demographic (social) factors that have been
shown to be strongly correlated with crime, rather than just on historical
crime statistics.
As the website points out, however, the risk is not necessarily uniform across
the whole area encompassed by the zip-code - there could be %26#39;pockets%26#39; of higher
risk, where a disproportionate number of crimes occur - equally, there might be
favoured areas, where the risk is lower (perhaps because they%26#39;re next to a
police station? ;-) )
AACTUAL crime statistics for the whole of Fort Worth are given on the Fort
Worth Police Department website, here, together with a comparison against
recent years, so that you can see whether trends are improving or declining:

One thing you CANNOT do from this, however, is deduce what percentage of
incidents occurred in your particular district - it might, potentially, have
been hardly any!
The following page summarises IMPROVEMENTS in the Fort Worth crime rate in the
10-year period to 1996:

If you had mentioned where you had moved FROM, I could have entered he details
into this neat litle calculator for you, which will provide a comparison of
crime rates in your old and new locations:
http://www.homefair.com/homefair/calc/crime.html
Acording to this site, Fort Worth as a whole has a crime index of 181, which
means its crime rate is 1.81 times the national average. But bearing in mind
that MOST cities will have an index significantly above the average, I don%26#39;t
think this should give you undue cause for concern.
Hope this has been of some help, and PLEASE don%26#39;t worry - I have seen nothing
in my research to indicate that your location is the new Crime Capital of the
World!

Greeting John,
