Any Pittsburgh Investors Buying in Clairton

I see a lot of wholesalers have properties listed in Clairton so I am trying to learn more about the area.  Does anyone own properties there?  Prices seem low and crime maps give stats on whole town and does not show on what streets (areas) crimes are occurring.  I am trying to figure out if certain areas are where a majority of the crimes occur and if other areas may be better for investments.

@Eddie Werner 

This is my 'go-to' for civilian produced crime maps.  Clairton is featured, not sure if this is the level of accuracy you were searching for.

@Jeremy T.


Thanks.  I have seen this.  Any idea what the purple areas mean?  It just names the area when you click on it but no real description or data??

Try calling the Clairton police department if you have a specific property you are pursuing.  Or try to see what they'll tell you about streets.  I've done this twice, neither with Clairton but it worked well.  I even had materials sent to me from one police unit.
