What Statistics Created the List of Safest Neighborhoods? 

Neighborhood Scout was looking at the number of crimes, crime rate per 1,000 residents, number of violent crimes, number of property crimes, and number of crimes per square mile. The numbers that looked the worst to me was the crimes per square mile. The average in Texas is 27, and in Tyler we have 61 per square mile. We need to do better.
