Go, stay aware

Overall safety score

“Go with care. Charleston Neck is a transitional industrial and commercial corridor home to popular craft breweries, barbecue spots, and creative spaces, but it remains rough around the edges. While daytime visits to established venues are generally fine, visitors should stay aware of their surroundings, stick to well-lit destination areas, and avoid walking through desolate industrial or rail corridors after dark.”

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
