Thinking about moving to just off 10 Mile in Warren as it is affordable and looks decent. But crime mapping sites don't like much of anything south of I-696 in Warren.

Anecdotally, I hear "don't go south of I-696" or "don't go south of 9 Mile". Which is it?

I've lived in the 60625 zip code of Chicago so I'm no stranger to vehicle break-ins, seeing drug deals happen across the street, hearing of stabbings in the building, etc. But I really would rather not move to areas where home invasion is a regular thing.

Any help from Warren residents?

You'll be alright. The further you go north out of Detroit the better

Where off 10 Mile? That’s really more of a dividing line than 696. Many areas south of 9 Mile are NOT safe anymore. Most areas off 10 Mile haven’t been too affected yet.
South of 10 Mile between Groesbeck and Hayes has gone downhill. I’m iffy about the neighborhoods near Mound, south of 10 Mile.
North of 10 Mile pales in comparison to many areas south of Stephens.

Yeah, the house was on Panama, so near Mound, just south of 10 Mile. Crime mapping sites had the neighborhood as doing better than a bunch of other ones further south and east, but we ended up nexting it for other reasons. That said, we're still strongly considering that area... we just don't know it well enough and looking to get observations from locals as to whether burglary, home invasion, etc is an issue there or not. When bars go over windows it's because it's usually too late.

The civic center is an example of how Warren spends tax dollars.
