Also, I only used 4 shades (green, yellow, orange, and red) to identify levels of safety, so it's very general and doesn't really take into account Norfolk's tendency to be "block-by-block" in terms of crime and whatnot. Also important to remember is that everyone has a different definition of "safe". A neighborhood you may find to be dangerous I may think is safe and vice-versa. Let me know what you guys think!

How did you arrive at these color zones? What were the parameters?
I think he covered those questions when he started the original thread.

Great map that corresponds to many of my experiences in Norfolk. I would be interested in seeing similar safety maps for Newport News, Virginia Beach, and Portsmouth.

Thumbs up Can we get something similar for Hampton please?

This post needs to be pinned. I would love to see one for Hampton though. I used to live in the Hampton Roads area and have a friend who is considering moving to Hampton but I have no clue where are the safe areas for a single young female in that area. I know more about Va Beach and Norfolk but that doesn't help her.
