Scroll down the article until you see your county.  Not every county is listed.

What's the difference between Robbery & Burglary?  I always forget.  The former is 0.1 in 1000 and latter 2.3 in 1000 in my neighborhood, seems pretty low fortunately.

I think robbery is outside of the home and burglary is inside. 

Or maybe one is done with your awareness, the other when you aren't around.

Apparently a lot of problems occur up and down the street from me.  Robberies in the park I walk through to get everywhere. 

...the whole damn thing will turn
and return redefined, rearranged, rearranged...

Burglary is when items are stolen from your property.  Robbery is when items are stolen from  your person, like being mugged.
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

We have something like this for Memphis. It pinpoints exactly where the crime took place. I use to check it all the time, but it unnerves me so I've stopped looking at it!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~Mark Twain

Interesting.  But didn't tell me anything I didn't already know: we live in a high-burglary area!
