Hi Sharon,

Fair-housing laws prevent Realtors from talking about neighborhood demographics such as crime rates, race ratios,etc. We are legally bound to not discriminate and not just in reference to people, that means neighborhoods too.

Any time you are looking for information about local crime (regardless of the city) look up the county sheriffs office and call them directy. Explain you are considering a move to XYZ location and you want to know the local crime trends (what types of crime and in what areas) the sheriff's office is NOT bound by fair-housing laws and can speak freely on the subject. Then, call your local sheriff's office, where you currently live and ask them the same thing. Then you can compare the two. Greenville County --> http://www.gcso.org/

A good website you can go to to run demographic comparisons, including cost of living, is http://www.bestplaces.net

If you want more information on Greenville in general, there are articles about the history of Greenville and surrounding cities as well as annual events and activities visit my team's website we have put extensive efforts into staying current and accurate in relation to Greenville information.

My blog is updated regularly as well and it is always relevant to Greenville, SC news, economy, housing trends, events and developments http://activerain.com/blogs/leecunning

I know this doesn't answer your question specifically and I would if I could, but I hope I've helped in some way. You can contact the Greenville County Sheriff's Office by visiting http://www.gcso.org/

Best of Luck in your search!
