How do you know whether a neighborhood is A, B, C, or D?

Question

How do you know whether a neighborhood is A, B, C, or D? Is there like a list or is it more just subjective based on a common set of criteria?

Thanks!

And if you have to carry a gun, then it's a C- or D...

Take a ride around. Are the lawns manicured with BMW’s in the driveway (A) or are there bunches of trouble makers hanging on the corner or someone’s “stoop” or outside the local liquor store (D)

My properties are in “c” areas - mostly hardworking blue collar lower middle class with a mix of dirt bags and an occasional meth head running around.

Thanks for the articles. As an aspiring out-of-state investor, I'm unable to physically drive around and dig into the neighborhoods.

Would realtors typically be able to help assess the different neighborhoods by class?
