25% may be about crime, but the crime statistics are given relatively higher weights. If you look at the "Home and Community" section, COVID, crime, and traffic fatalities are included, but most of the weight is placed on violent crime. Columbia is also #1 in this specific section, so we must be doing something right when it comes to crime.

I love food trucks, so my recommendation would be Sapwood Cellars for good beer when they have a food truck that sells burgers/fries.
May not be the most "consistent" answer considering they don't always have food trucks with burgers/fries, but when they do...you're in for a treat.

All of the crime-related fields actually add up to over 50% of the weight for that section.
I do agree that it would be better to see a full report rather than summary statistics, however.
