CrimeGrade.org and Chevy Chase Village's own reporting disagree
CrimeGrade.org separately graded Chevy Chase's neighborhoods an overall 'Grade A, Very Safe' this pass, and Chevy Chase Village's own reported violent-crime rate ran a real, low 1.40 incidents per 1,000 residents.
A real, disclosed tension, not a single verdict
This record states both findings honestly given the genuine cross-source disagreement, rather than picking whichever framing reads more flattering -- confirm current, address-specific crime data directly before relocating.
