What we score

Everything that matters
to a parent. In one view.

The things parents actually lie awake thinking about — each backed by a source you can name.

⭐ Our Specialty

The Walk to School,
Scored Block by Block

We map the actual route from home to school and check for crime, crossings, sidewalks, and pedestrian crashes — the one thing no other tool shows.

Verified Crime Ratings

Crime near a home, normalized against national averages — from FBI, NIBRS & local police. Never from opinion or blog posts.

📊 FBI UCR + Local PD Feeds
🍎

Parent-Vetted Schools

Academic quality and on-campus safety side by side, with the signals report cards bury — suspension rates, incident counts, and teacher turnover.

📚 NCES + State Ed. Dept.
🌳

Parks & Green Space

Quality parks and open space within walking distance, because kids need somewhere to run — and parents need to know it's well-maintained.

🔒

Your Search Stays Yours

We never track personal searches, sell your location history, or share your data with real estate agents. Your research is your business alone.

🚫 Zero Data Brokering
📋

Named Sources. Checkable Facts.

Every data point links back to the source agency. If we say crime is down 40% — you can pull the same FBI spreadsheet and verify it yourself. That's the promise.

5-year trend, incident detail, block-by-block breakdown in a Full Intel Report

"I spent weeks with twelve browser tabs open, trying to feel sure. Find a Safe Place showed me the walk to my daughter's school in about a minute. I finally exhaled."
— Maria R. · Mom of two, house-hunting for a family neighborhood
★★★★★

"As a first-time homebuyer, I had no idea what I was looking at with crime stats. This translated everything into language a normal person actually understands."

James T.
New homeowner · Phoenix, AZ
★★★★★

"I sent this to my parents who were moving closer to us. They called me crying saying they finally felt confident about their choice. That's not something a Zillow map does."

A
Alicia M.
Daughter helping family relocate
★★★★★

"I checked three different tools. This was the only one that actually showed me the specific route my kid walks to school and flagged a dangerous intersection. The others just showed a map with dots."

🏛 Federal
FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
The national standard for crime data. Reported by 18,000+ law enforcement agencies. Updated annually. We use current & 3-year rolling averages.
🏛 Federal
NIBRS — National Incident-Based Reporting
The FBI's next-generation system. Captures offense type, location, victim characteristics, and relationship to offender — far deeper than UCR alone.
🏛 Federal
U.S. Census ACS + NCES
Population-normalized crime rates use Census boundaries. School data uses National Center for Education Statistics for academic performance and campus incident reports.
📍 Local
Local Police Department Feeds
Where available, we ingest direct PD open-data feeds for real-time incident data — updated daily or weekly depending on the agency's publication cycle.
🗺 State
State DOT Crash Data
Pedestrian crash records at the intersection level — used specifically to evaluate school-route safety at crossings, signals, and crosswalks.
📍 Local
OpenStreetMap + City Park Inventories
Park quality, maintenance status, and accessibility data from city open-data portals — cross-referenced with OSM for coverage validation.
