About Local Home Security
Real crime data. Honest security info. No corporate nonsense.
Why This Exists
I got tired of security company websites trying to scare me into buying stuff. You know the ones. "YOUR FAMILY IS IN DANGER" plastered everywhere, followed by a sales pitch. I just wanted to know: what's the actual crime situation in my neighborhood, and what are my real options? So I built this.
Everyone deserves access to accurate crime data and unbiased home security information. Not marketing dressed up as advice. Real data from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, local law enforcement agencies, and trusted neighborhood analytics platforms. That's it.
What We Do
Local Home Security provides neighborhood-level crime statistics, safety scores, and curated listings of security companies (both national providers and local businesses) for communities across the United States. The goal is simple: help homeowners and renters make informed decisions about protecting their homes and families.
How We Do It
- Data-first: Every crime statistic on our site comes from the FBI UCR program, state-level reporting agencies, or verified local law enforcement data. No made-up numbers.
- Neighborhood detail: City-wide averages hide a TON of variation. We break down safety data to the neighborhood level whenever possible.
- No provider bias: We list both national and local security companies. Our recommendations are based on BBB ratings, customer reviews, and service quality. Not advertising spend.
- Transparency: We clearly disclose our data sources, methodology, and any affiliate relationships. See our Crime Data Sources page for full details.
How We're Funded
I'll be straight with you. Local Home Security is funded through affiliate partnerships with security companies and display advertising. When you request a quote through our site, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This support allows us to maintain and expand our FREE crime data resources. And our editorial content is never influenced by advertising relationships. Ever.
