Check Your Neighborhood Crime with 3 Sites
Dirty deeds are done dirt cheap in downtown Bladensburg. I know because where we live we get to hear most of them being done.
Check up on the dirty deeds in your neighborhood with these three sites.
1) Crimereports.com
This site is awesome. All crimes and stats for your area are overlaid on a Google Map. You can search for the following info:
Here’s a map of our area:
2) bestplaces.net
This is more for the home buyer, but the site does helpful overall statistics. On a scale of 1 to 10, Bladensburg is a 6, double the national average. Good to know if, you know, you’re going to sign a two-year lease.
3) Your local police department
Use your GoogleFu to find your local police department. Many of them report crime statistics for the area. Bladensburg’s are below.

Yikes. Our Property Crime is right there with yours at 7! Thankfully our violent crime is below the national average at 2. But still, I’m freaked! It’s good to know, though. Thanks for the great sites, Harley!
this site is awesome- Our crime rates are 1 and our map was totally empty. I am thinking about stealing the neighbors leaf blower though, so we’ll see how that turns out.
When are we moving?
Evanston got a 6 in crime too. But our police dept must not be reporting to the crime reports because it says 0. I know that’s not true!
I thought the religion stats were interesting – for our town:
57.63% of the people in Evanston, IL are religious, meaning they affiliate with a religion. 39.93% are Catholic; 6.77% are Protestant; 0.17% are LDS; 4.57% are another Christian faith; 4.36% in Evanston, IL are Jewish; 0.05% are an eastern faith; 1.78% affilitates with Islam.
I’m surprised it even mentions LDS.
Fun links Harley!
