I have lived in Calumet Heights for three years and there have been no major safety issues. There are a few job opportunities but not that many and it is a good neighborhood for families.

Pretty cool and friendly area. Other than the frequent police and ambulance, due to being up the street from Advocate trinity. This is a pretty calm area. Shopping centers are near. Not a lot of traffic due to the wider streets in this area. Overall its pretty nice to me. Glade to call it home.
