I'm in Dallas, in a largely Hispanic neighborhood near downtown. What these stats don't tell you is that the violent crime is largely isolated to certain areas and ethnic groups. I've lived here for six years in a restored historic neighborhood, and the only crime I've ever experienced is theft of plant pots off the porch. But every weekend, I can sit outside and hear the gunshots and squealing tires from the Hispanic nightclub two blocks away. I've often wondered why people jam a club every weekend when it's almost guaranteed that someone will get knifed or shot there. Personally, I'd probably decide to go to a movie or something instead.
Where are you located? I'm about 3 blocks from the Whole Foods on Greenville Ave, and about 3 blocks from where the DPD officer was shot and killed the week before last.
The Lake Highlands area has lots of crime now. It used to be one of the safest areas when I was growing up.
Whenever we visit my parents there, we cannot leave anything in the car because it will get broken into.
My brother's house in LH got broken into several times.
It's gone downhill since they converted apartments into low-income housing.
