Yes some areas have better statistics but as a whole crime is general to the area. 

No, the statistics on the rate of title policy claims are not correct.

That more or less goes with my point of it being an accounted for statistic--an output.

And, I'm not sure where it connects with what you wrote, honestly...The National Association of Realtors statistics is 75% of new real estate agents drop out in the 1st year, and 90% by the 3rd year. 

Hi Les,The forecast for the Fort Wayne Metropolitan Statistical Area is optimistic, predicting a growth rate that gradually increases throughout the year.

Can you please supply statistics and sources.

However if you only plan on owning it for 2 years it would be better not to buy any real estate because statistically speaking with the costs for taxes, expenses, mortgage interest, realtors commission, and other things that come up you won’t make any money anyway.

Are there common resources out there that would have foundation statistics about different neighborhoods?

Most of the software I use for deals for myself and my clients use an algorithm that will use statistical amounts for replacement based on current costs.
