Survey organizers say the rankings are based on FBI crime statistics and data from the U.S. Department of Justice. They did not detail the time frame they researched.
Don't get too excited, this survey just points out ONE NEIGHBORHOOD in Charlotte, not the entire city. Maybe some of our posters who live in that area can tell us first hand if they feel unsafe.
These things are mostly a joke meant to sell the product. I remember back in 2000, there was some survey that came out saying UNC Charlotte had the second-highest number of laptop thefts in the country, so students should really buy these laptop protection things. Turns out there were like 2 laptop thefts on campus the entire year. I don't put much stock in it.
That area is not that bad. The only places to keep an eye are beneath the 277 overpass , and the ensuing 10 blocks north. Even then , it's not the Phnom Penh some would lead you to believe. Albeit , at sunrise during summer , before the haze rises(if it ever does) , it resembles an early morning shot of the jungle.
