>Redfin highlighted the difference between crime and safety and said that through its research, which included surveys, people defined safety in a variety of ways. Taubman said that the available data, namely the Uniform Crime Report from the FBI, pertains to reported crimes and excludes information about crimes that go unreported and crimes that go unsolved. He said that data at a neighborhood level could lead to high inaccuracy. Completely illogical. Obviously reported crimes will be more serious and violent (robbery, assault) than unreported crimes (stolen bike, vandalism). Real estate shoppers are most interested in avoiding neighborhoods with serious crime so the FBI Uniform Crime Report is the best way to measure that. Also neighborhoods with more serious crimes probably have more petty crime as well.
