Is there a way to find which neighborhoods are good and which ones you want avoid without looking up every single one of them at a time?

There are a few with various pro's and con's. Neighborhood Scout will give you a bigger picture and for cities it will drill down into portions of them. Crime grade (.org) will give you details on zip codes, then you can zoom in to see actual streets and where crime is higher and lower. crime mapping shows details on the crimes, where available. Many cities not listed though. Do a Google search for crime mapping for more. 

Trulia and Realtor used to show this data, but decided customers didn't need it to make home buying decisions. Uh yep.

Hey @Matthew Martin,

https://www.areavibes.com/ is the website that I use when I want to know the demographics and crime rate of the area. 

Best of luck, 

David

I usually reach out to PMs in that area and ask around and take notes! 

You can also test https://crimegrade.org or Cityprotect.com 

Then there is also Speaking with local law enforcement lol!
