NeighborhoodScout.com (http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/) and WalletPop.com recently released a report (http://www.walletpop.com/insurance/most-dangerous-neighborhoods-for-property-crime) on the most dangerous neighborhoods for property crime in the U.S. Surprisingly, this exclusive list included numerous neighborhoods which are adjacent to some of America's largest and most prestigious colleges and universities.
Seeking to explain this phenomenon, many local police departments responded to the story by citing a young, transient population who are often on their own for the first time, living in close quarters, and not securing their belongings, as potential reasons college neighborhoods may be some of the highest risk areas for burglary, theft and motor vehicle theft.
Readers suggested that they would like to know which college neighborhoods have the highest risk for property crime. In response, NeighborhoodScout has identified the Top 15 College Neighborhoods for Property Crime in America. These neighborhoods have the highest estimated rates of property crime per 1,000 residents of any college neighborhoods in America. These neighborhoods do not necessarily have high rates of violent crime, which is not included in the analysis.
