The great news is that there are now tools that will allow you evaluate any given area around any given address, intersection, park, school or zip code as to its safety. These tools are courtesy of the police departments of Las Vegas ( servicing Las Vegas and all the unincorporated areas of the valley), North Las Vegas and Henderson.
