Bad neighborhoods

I am a prospective real estate buy and hold investor in Baltimore Maryland. I am interested in finding out if anyone knows of any good resources for evaluating crime on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis. there is an area in Baltimore known as the 4 x 4 which is not a good area crime wise. And I am looking for a way to help avoid similar areas in the city

I would definitely use some geographic analysis tool - which comes handy when looking at these things. it has made my life much easier. Here are a few sources:

On the right hand bar of this page you have excel stats. http://www.goccp.maryland.gov/msac/crime-analysis-... I would use those and leverage some free gography tool such as www.arcgisonline.com. get a free 60 day account and drop the stats there to play a bit.
