The Crime and Place app\u2019s \u201cCrime Compass\u201d tells you where the danger is and how to get away. The colors change as you drive through the city. Here\u2019s how the compass looks at different locations in Durham. (For more details about how Durham is portrayed in Crime and Place, see our full report<\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Emily<\/p>\n

Emily K Center:<\/b> At the Emily K Center on W. Chapel Hill Street at the edge of downtown, the crime level is \u201chigh.\u201d The only safer region within a half mile is a yellow \u201caverage\u201d slice toward Duke\u2019s campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Elmo\u2019s: <\/b>Crime is \u201celevated\u201d at Elmo\u2019s Diner, a popular breakfast joint on Ninth Street. There are \u201caverage\u201d regions to the north and south, marking Duke\u2019s East Campus and the Hillandale Golf Course, and a \u201chigh\u201d region toward Northgate Mall in the northeast.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By the bull:<\/b> At the bull statue next to The Parlour downtown, crime is \u201chigh\u201d with no easy escape route in sight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Academy Road:<\/b> Durham Academy\u2019s middle school is in an \u201celevated\u201d crime area on Academy Road, but if you hop on 15\/501 on the way home from school, you\u2019ll be in the clear in an \u201caverage\u201d zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Near 15\/501: <\/b>University Tower, better known to Durhamites as the Pickle Building, sits in an \u201caverage\u201d region, but the grass is finally green in a \u201clow\u201d zone to the north and west on Pickett Road.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Durham Tech: <\/b>The crime level is highest near Durham Technical Community College and the McDougald Terrace public housing complex, southeast of downtown.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
