Thanks for the link, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to cover Maryland. I know there are other ways of finding crime stats; I just need to figure out how to use them properly. (I have managed to figure out enough to terrify myself - based on stats from the last *week*.)

Yeah, I'm trying to take that balance into account, and point out to myself that an honest review of the place I've lived comfortably for the last 8 years would be mediocre to poor.
