Trulia Crime Maps: Local Crime Rates & Safety Maps

Assessing Neighborhood Safety with Trulia's Crime Maps

For individuals considering a relocation and desiring to evaluate the safety of potential areas, Trulia’s Crime Maps offer a valuable resource. This tool facilitates comparisons of crime rates between your current location and other areas of interest.

The application is an interactive online map, allowing users to examine crime statistics at various geographic levels. These include state, county, city, and even specific postal codes.

Understanding the Map Visuals

Crime rates are visually represented as black circles on the map. The numerical value within each circle indicates the number of recently reported crimes. A larger circle signifies a higher incidence of criminal activity.

Detailed examination is possible by zooming in. This allows for viewing crime statistics within specific neighborhoods and identifying street intersections with the highest crime counts.

Selecting a crime circle provides access to more granular data. This includes the types of crimes reported – such as theft, assault, or robbery – along with a history of recent incidents and precise crime locations.

The black circles represent recent criminal activity, specifically within the last ten days. In contrast, the heatmap feature illustrates long-term crime trends, displaying incidents per block and year.
