(17 posts)When a neighborhood is being affected by crime repeatedly, those at risk could understandably see an unknown person hanging around out the rain at night to be suspicious simply because most people don't do that.
I assume you mean the demographics of the neighborhood I lived in at the time that my house was broken into?
It was mostly families, retired folks who had lived there a long time, with a few of us singles mixed in. Middle class, mixed races and ethnicity. It was an older subdivision, built in the 50s. Mostly brick ranch houses and such. The subdivision was shaped essentially like a rounded triangle. It was banked on one side by a highway, on another by a strip mall, with the third side banked by an area that was beginning to blight. I lived there for 13 years.
