Introduction
In this day and age everyone has to be concerned with security threats that could occur at their home. According to Safeguard, “2,000,000 home burglaries are reported each year in the United States” (2010). Since there are so many burglaries a year in the United Stated, you need to understand what your current security standings is in your residence and then also understand what you can do to improve it. I have been living in the Northside area in Cincinnati for the past two years. The building that I currently live in has built layers of security by having a fence, doors, lighting and cameras to watch over the place.

Security Assessment
I currently live in the American Can Lofts that are located in Northside in Cincinnati. The Northside area has a perception of a being an unsafe area as it is near the college campus and the income is lower. According to Areavibes, “The estimated Northside crime index is 4% higher than the Cincinnati average and the Cincinnati crime index is 110% higher than the Ohio average” (2015). So the crime index is higher for Northside area, but not that much different from Cincinnati. I feel pretty safe walking around the neighborhood as you can see police officers patrolling occasionally. There is also usually a good amount of people walking around.
