A real, disclosed data gap

This record's own research this pass did not surface a confidently sourced, Hurricane-specific numeric crime rate comparable to the sourcing standard used elsewhere in this project.

A real, cited reputational context

Hurricane's cited Bloomberg Businessweek 'Best Place to Raise a Family in West Virginia' recognition suggests a generally favorable safety reputation, though this record does not convert that into an unsourced crime-rate claim.
