My family is seriously considering relocating to Beaver Island. In the process of research we found a strange glitch in data on Crime stats.
All of the major internet based town or city statistics sites show a somewhat significant amount of crime on Beaver Island. However, they often also conflate Beaver Island with Harbor Springs or sometimes Charlevoix.
In addition to the various website stats that seem to show a major spike in crime on Beaver Island, it goes against everything we know about the place. It seems possible but very implausible to us that Beaver Island has crime rates higher than most of outlying Traverse city.
Does anyone there have any clear data on this since the websites are constantly conflicting each-other on Beaver Island crime stats?
Thanks in Advance!
