I agree that there are sex offenders everywhere. I’m just pointing out that in terms of future value and price increases, any home buyer is going to do basic research and something like this may completely put off a buyer. At least for us, this was one of the checks we did and one of the reasons we did not buy there.
Anyhow, here’s some data for thoughts/discussion:
San Marcos comes out pretty well on this metric, at least based on this data.
ZIP — CITY — # of sex offenders — Population — # of offenders per 10000 people.
92025 Escondido: 45 / 50,337 = 8.9397 offenders for every 10k peeps
92071 Santee: 47 / 54,369 = 8.6446 offenders for every 10k peeps
92126 Mira Mesa: 32 / 77,323 = 4.1385 offenders for every 10k peeps
92127 4s Ranch: 7 / 20,869 = 3.3543 offenders for every 10k peeps
92069 San Marcos: 22 / 74,591 = 2.9494 offenders for every 10k peeps
92118 Coronado: 5 / 22,593 = 2.2131 offenders for every 10k peeps
92037 La Jolla: 5 / 46,231 = 1.0815 offenders for every 10k peeps
92130 Carmel Valley: 3 / 29,364 = 1.0217 offenders for every 10k peeps
