Crime map, per capita income, good vs bad areas

[Richard Moro]

I was wondering how to figure out what areas are classified as what. I know my own local area but that is about it. I am looking into nwi (northwest indiana) and I know some areas but not others. I also feel like certain neighborhoods are drastically different depending on the city/town.  I feel as if i can see how much the average person makes, the crime, housing prices and schools, then I can really tell. I know without boots on the ground I can only know so much but that is alot of time to waste if i view every property I come across. Thank you guys :D
