When we were looking for apartments last year, v_cat and I were concerned about neighborhoods, because we'd never lived in Somerville before and had heard some sketchy things. v_cat actually went through the police log for the past 9 months and made a Google map with pins for all the logged crime incidents. It was pretty nifty and gave us a relatively good idea of where it was probably safe to live.
Mostly, the impression we got was "stay away from Assembly Square"...
