    Alright, thanks! That still adds an interesting new considering to housing searches, although it might be a bit of a risky move. Public perception can sometimes create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Oh. Definitely not, even the websites that report on safety of different areas will have maybe warnings designed to help sure visitors understand why the map reads as skewed as it does but nobody ever cares to read and learn about that and instead tends to assume “all urban areas are crime ridden” and in reality the statical crime danger presented from the safest areas to the “most dangerous” areas is like 10%, if that. I could go into why these perceptions exist but it goes on forever. Look up blockbusting and that will start you off on a pretty good rabbit hole
