Is this neighborhood safe?
Why “Is this neighborhood safe?” is the first question savvy home buyers ask
68 % of U.S. buyers
say safety is a top-three factor influencing their offer strategy (NAR Home Buyer & Seller Generational Trends).
Online listings
boast granite counters and school ratings—but rarely publish recent burglary spikes or offender presence.
Traditional crime maps
are cluttered and hard to print for lenders, inspectors, or relocation packets.
Guardely Real-Estate Safety Reports solve the gap with a concise, data-rich PDF covering crime counts, five-year trends, sex-offender proximity, and after-dark incident density—formatted for buyers, realtors, and underwriters alike. Each report focuses on a single ZIP code or city block, uses the same crime/offender engine that powers HoodScore, and is delivered in seconds.
Coverage note: Data sources are exclusively U S. law-enforcement and federal offender registries; no scraped gossip boards or unverified crowd reports.

Frequently asked questions
The most frequently asked questions and their answers
Is this the same as a background check?
No. A Guardely Real Estate Safety Report summarizes crime patterns and offender proximity around a property or ZIP code; it does not screen individual people, tenants, or employees like a background check does. The report pulls from public law‑enforcement and offender data to describe neighborhood risk, which buyers and lenders can use alongside traditional credit, income, and screening tools.
Will PDF reports hurt resale value if I share them?
Sharing a report does not change the underlying crime data; it only makes existing public information easier to read and discuss. In many cases, clear context around incident types (for example, property crime instead of violent crime) can actually help explain pricing, support appraisals, and build trust with future buyers or partners.
How current is the data?
Reports are generated on demand from Guardely’s live crime and offender engine, which ingests thousands of U.S. agency feeds on a frequent cycle and maintains a rolling five‑year archive for trends. That means each PDF reflects the latest available incidents and offender updates at the time you click “Buy a Report,” instead of relying on last year’s static summary.
Where can I see all plan tiers and payment options?
Current pricing, bundle discounts, and any subscription options (including HoodScore upgrades) are listed in the Guardely web app and on the main Guardely site’s pricing or features sections. From the “Buy a Report” flow you can review per‑report costs, see what each tier includes, and decide whether to stay pay‑as‑you‑go or apply your credit toward an ongoing plan.
