It has higher than average crime but it's not like, Detroit or anything.

Might check the exact neighborhood with this website, as some spots are ok and others not so much::

https://crimegrade.org/violent-crime-16146/

>The D+ grade means the rate of violent crime is higher than the average US zip. 16146 is in the 23rd percentile for safety, meaning 77% of zip codes are safer and 23% of zip codes are more dangerous.

"Safer than 7% of U.S. Cities," which isn't much of a recommendation.

Might be less of an issue for a young adult male compared to someone looking to move with small children.

People over-obsess about crime figures. Most crimes are petty, and most victims know the perpetrators. In reality your lifestyle, people you associate with, education/career background, and other social factors have much more to do with your likelihood of experiencing crime than your place of residence.
