Moving to Colorado Springs ?

Many people who are moving to Colorado Springs want to know where the good and where are bad parts of the city are located.   One of the many things I do to answer their question, is to send them to different web sites that gives them the crime stats.  In the age of All Things Internet, there is no shortage of information, they just have to be directed on where to find it.  Here’s some of my favorite sites:

• CBI website http://cbi.state.co.us/ — Gives you everything from registered sex offenders to crime stats.
• http://www.neighborhoodscout.com — When you put in an address for a Colorado Springs neighborhood, it gives you all types of information about the area, including crime stats, a general overview of the area, as well as school information.
• http://www.NeighborhoodScan.com – This site gives you extremely detailed information about sex offenders.
• http://www.spotcrime.com – Maps out crime occurrences, and allows you to pull up details on specific crimes.
• http://www.crimereports.com — Also gives you extremely detailed information about sex offenders.
• http://www.relocationessentials.com — Compares crime in Colorado Springs vs. the national average.  As an example, it shows you that Colorado Springs has less rape and burglaries than the national average.

But even with all of the comprehensive national data, the best web site which is chocked full of information is part of the City of Colorado Springs web site.   You can pull up a weekly report that shows you the location of crimes by different categories.   There is also information on all of the Meth Labs that were discovered in Colorado Springs by year.   (See Don’t let your dream house become a nightmare)   You can even follow the Colorado Springs Police Department on Twitter.

When you are looking at moving to Colorado Springs, these web sites can help give you a better pictures of neighborhoods you want to live in.    Remember, Knowledge is Power
