When we were looking for places to live down here in the Charlotte, NC area, spotcrime.com was absolutely invaluable in figuring out neighborhoods to avoid (hint: most of them). Unfortunately most of the jurisdictions around here have since blocked Spotcrime from accessing their data and have instead gone to a single paid vendor, who charges for access to their crime data (and it’s delayed almost a week and inaccurate anyway).

Almost is effective is to look up precinct voting data. Anything with less than 40% Democrat voters (including the place we live) tends to be fairly nice neighborhoods, regardless of income (ours is lower middle class) and demographics.
