I don;t think you can get down in detail enough to spare places like Seminole heights which is 6 square blocks surrounded by bad parts. You also probably didn't have the pleasure of being familiar with the OP's postings. If you did you wouldn't pay any attention to those maps.

so that determines what? crooks go to good neighborshoods to steal, drug king pins are usually live in very high class gated communities and so are the white collar crime culprits that run into millions of dollars of fraud, tax evasion, mortgage fraud, human trafficking, and you be surprized what else! Petty numerous crimes run in the hood, I agree, but the ones destroying alot of lives all at once,with BIG money-in nice neighborhoods.

I've had my van stolen and my car stereo stolen while taking classes at HCC Ybor. But I guess since I didn't get stabbed its "not bad at all" .

The maps are dead on, great work crazynip.

I'm a resident of Seminole Heights... I won't say that there is no crime in my area but obviously I find it a safe and desirable place to live. I've heard from one neighbor whose house was broken into but I've had no crime affect me at all. It is hardly on par with some of the other places on that map.

There are other areas on the map that are not so bad IMO. Such as the areas north and south of Hillsborough Ave west of Seminole Heights... they're not the best neighborhoods in the world, but not the worst, either. I also disagree with OP's suggestion that investors in "Heights" neighborhoods will lose money. I've seen plenty of people making profits selling their houses in Seminole Heights. I believe that one day Tampa Heights will become more gentrified, but it won't be for a long time. It seems like the gentrified area of Seminole Heights is expanding and moving southward slowly.

This is ridiculous. It may as well be a map of neighborhoods in Hillsborough county that are not both at least 90% white and upper middle class. It's things like these that prevent regentrification and perpetuate urban sprawl. There are only a handful of neighborhoods dangerous enough to be avoided.

Lots of Section 8 housing in that area. Quite a bit of crime, really kind of a rough spot in the middle of a nice area.
