Overall safety score

“Go. Wales Garden is one of Columbia's most prestigious and tranquil historic residential neighborhoods, offering peaceful, tree-lined streets just steps from the University of South Carolina and Five Points. Violent crime is extremely rare, though standard precautions against opportunistic property crime like vehicle break-ins are advised due to its proximity to nightlife hubs.”

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.
