Crime Rates Are Rising !
How Does Your Neighborhood Compare?
Recently I was asked by a relocating family, “What is the crime rate in AAAAAAA? This is a major concern for most people in choosing a new location for their home. Crime definitely impacts the value of surrounding real estate.
Crime statistics are now gathered on local levels and reported to federal agencies. These agencies compile reports and provide the information to certain third party groups offering summaries by zip code area through my website.
To find out the numbers and types of crimes in any area you only need to visit www.jimlubinsky.com and click on “Area Demographics”. Enter your city name and select the zip code you want to know more about. Note that most of Franklin County will be found in “Columbus” as the city. Then enter the desired zip code.
The crime number shown on the graph is not a pure count of occurrences, but rather a relative indicator of crime compared to the country average. A number of 70 means that crime occurrence is 70% as likely as the national average.
For example, total crime in 43035, which is Lewis Center, is 29 vs. 100 for the national average. Lewis Center experiences significantly less total crime than the national average.
There are many other interesting and valuable items of information on my website for you to explore. For more details about the value of your property and the trends in values, contact me directly at 614-766-5330 ext 119 or jim@jimlubinsky.com
