To look up information about your neighborhood, click on the name of your neighborhood in the list below to jump directly to that section of the page. Click here to learn about how we compiled this database and what sources were used in the process.

About This Database

We referenced several sources to create this database, including U.S. Census Data, FBI Uniform Crime Reports, the Richmond Crime Incident Information system, and the websites Nextdoor.com and AreaVibes.com.  While we attempted to use the most accurate information available, in some cases information from one source contradicted information from another source.  In those cases, we made a judgement call as to which source was most accurate in that particular instance.

As you look at the statistics in the database, keep in mind that data about crime is often misinterpreted or used in ways other than what it was intended.  You might want to read this article about how to interpret crime statistics in order to put the information in the proper perspective.

Well, there aren’t too many country clubs that can claim they have an entire neighborhood to themselves, but the Country Club of Virginia comes pretty close.  The club, plus a few adjacent homes, is actually considered a neighborhood for the purpose of reporting crime statistics and other data.  It does boast a population of 630, but the dominant feature of the neighborhood is the golf course at the country club.  Needless to say, the crime in this “neighborhood” is almost nonexistent. 

In the first quarter of 2017, there has been no burglaries or assaults reported at the Country Club of Virginia.  In fact, “crime” in this neighborhood seems to be largely confined to cheating on golf scores.
