That site's information doesn't track with my direct experience of the area. I'm also suspicious that the entire purpose of the site is to advertise home security systems since it's a prominent entry in the site map. Also, they mention their maps are AI-generated from other data sources; this is strange and unusual for statistical views and doesn't increase my confidence either.
For zip code 94025 (Menlo Park), the Meta/Facebook campus near the bay gets a crime grade of F. I can think of several possible reasons for this...
