NextDoor can give you a pulse but it’s dirty data. People will think they’re a crime victim but they may not be and then you have others who try to downplay the crime —oh it’s not really a crime, it’s a city, these things happen.

Point is NextDoor can provide some insight into crime as often what is mentioned in that medium is unreported to authorities though often you will have members recommend the victim report the crime to police.
