Review of Albany, Oregon


low crime
Star Rating - 6/13/2006
The crime statistics must be wrong, because I moved here from Merced, CA (listed lower in property crime)and the gangs and property crime there are outrageous. The Merced Sun Star newspaper routinely posts 150 police calls/ day and most of my friends had been robbed at least once, some 5 or 6 times, and they live in the good part of town. In downtown Albany I see kids bikes sitting in the yard. I know there is theft here- but ther eis no concievable way it is worse than Merced.
