Is this map of Columbus neighborhoods accurate?

https://www.niche.com/places-to-live/columbus-franklin-oh/ shows a map of the areas in Columbus. To what extent is this map accurate? Are certain C class areas in fact class D/F areas that you would never recommend investors to buy & hold in? I'm a buy & hold investor living in SF Bay Area and I invest in OH. I use realtor.com's crime map to identify the good vs. crime-ridden areas, too. cc @Remington Lyman @Robert Ellis

@Susan Tan that's actually a great resource! I would agree with @Zeke Liston regarding Hilltop. C+ might be a bit high. And Franklinton may not be a B the further west you go. But, those sorts of things are really splitting hairs. As a quick reference, it seems pretty reliable. A pretty handy site I also use occasionally is https://communitycrimemap.com/. It breaks crime down by type, date, etc.

Regarding Columbus as a whole, though, all of these areas, especially within reasonable distance to Downtown, will continue to rise. Investment is happening at such a rapid pace.
