How NabeStats.com Works

We aggregate data from trusted government and public sources to give you a comprehensive snapshot of any neighborhood in the United States.

Our Data Sources

Safety

FBI UCR crime data with national average comparisons and deterministic trend generation for consistent results. Safety ratings based on national benchmarks.

Sources: FBI Crime Data API, National averages (3.8 violent, 19.5 property per 1k)

People & Economy

Census ACS 5-year data including population, median income, education levels, and poverty rates. All metrics include national average comparisons for better benchmarking.

Sources: U.S. Census Bureau ACS

Housing

HUD Fair Market Rents and Census median rent data to provide housing cost benchmarks for the area. Includes national median rent comparisons for affordability context.

Environment

Real-time air quality data from OpenAQ and AirNow, plus EPA drinking water system information and violations.

Schools

SchoolDigger rankings (normalized to a 1–10 scale) blended with NCES directory data for grade spans, enrollment, student–teacher ratios, and lunch program coverage. When statewide rankings are missing or rate limits are hit, we fall back to NCES details so the Schools card stays informative.

Sources: SchoolDigger API + NCES Directory (fallback)

Mobility

Walk Score ratings, INRIX parking costs, and Transitland data showing nearby transit options, walkability, and bike-friendliness. Our comprehensive mobility rating combines walk score (60%) and transit score (40%) for an overall assessment with real-time parking data.

Our Methodology

Data Accuracy & Coverage

We use the most recent available data from official sources. Crime data comes from FBI UCR with national average comparisons and deterministic trend generation for consistent results. We clearly indicate data coverage levels and provide safety ratings based on national benchmarks.

Geographic Boundaries

We use Census ZCTAs (ZIP Code Tabulation Areas) and counties for consistent data joins. When exact ZIP code data isn't available, we show the nearest ZCTA approximation.

Rates vs. Counts

Crime data is always displayed as rates per 1,000 residents, not raw counts, allowing for fair comparisons between areas of different sizes.

Transparency

Every data point includes source attribution and methodology notes. We believe in building trust through transparency about our data sources and calculation methods.
