What defines a Warzone?

[Steffan Daus]

I am trying to determine what a good area for me to start marketing to for my market (Charlotte, NC). But I think it would be best, since I am just trying to get started, to avoid the so called "warzones". But what makes an area a Warzone? How do you decide whether a location is in one? What qualifiers do you use? Where do you get your data and how far back do you go?
