Crime map accurate? (Charlotte: university, statistics, move to)

[susieh]

Thanks to all Charlotteans for their patience with those of us who want to move to your state. I found this map, and wondered what you all thought of it, as far as crime goes in Charlotte. This might be a way to get us to quit asking, if you all think it is fairly correct. It gives actual data, so may be a bit more detailed than the generalization type maps. However, I am not sure if this jibes with what actual residents are saying. Thanks everyone for your help.

Its easier & more accurate to use the one on the Observer's website.

The Observer's crime mapper is easier to use than CMPD's crime mapper.

Can someone post a crime map or two without getting busted by the SS?

Why not just go to the Observer's website & try it out for yourself?

Wonder why the University area has the most "discharging firearms" records?
