How Long It Would Take A Hacker To Guess Your Password, Visualized - Digg
We all know our passwords probably aren't as safe as they should be (looking at you, people who have used their pet's name plus their birthdate for the last 10 years) - but would it take a hacker nine months to guess yours, or 25 seconds?

About Fearrington Village Community Watch
Our Community Watch program consists solely of informational resources to encourage residents to be mindful of their exposure to some potential risk of criminal activity, how to minimize such risks, and how to report incidents if they should ever occur.
Please note that our program is NOT a neighborhood patrol program. To learn more about our information resources, visit this page on the FHA website, where you will find a wide range of safety recommendations, tips, and links to related information.
While ours is not a crime-ridden neighborhood, we are not immune from the risk and we all need to be vigilant. While rare, in the past 10 years there have been several prior home burglaries and recently there have been several incidents of items taken from unlocked vehicles parked in driveways in the historic district.
Three Most Important Recommendations
- Keep an eye out for your nearby neighbors and your neighborhood. If you see something suspicious, say (report) something.
- When leaving your home (even for a short period of time), you should lock your home and garage doors and close any open ground floor and garage windows. At night, you should close and lock all ground floor windows (including the garage, especially if it is connected to your home).
- Always lock vehicle(s) when left outside and close all the open vehicle windows and don't leave valuables (such as wallets, purses, handbags, smartphones, computer tablets, etc.) inside any locked or unlocked vehicle (even if stored in the glovebox or other covered storage locations (where anyone could easily find them by searching unsystematically and untidily through the interior.
The Chatham County Sheriff's Department does occasionally patrol our village, but Chatham County is very large and they cannot be everywhere or anywhere at once.

East Camden Traffic Compliance & Risk Report (Month of March 2020)
As part of a March 01 - 29, 2020 FHA village speed study, and at the invitation of Camden Rark, Inc (HOA), the FHA's speed monitor was stationed on East Camden along the edge of Camden Park at a location just past Madison and almost across from McDowell.
During those 29 days, the monitor collected an array of traffic data, which is documented in the embedded graphic below, which was taken from the summary table for the Compliance & Risk Report and which is briefly described in the paragraphs below
Main Conclusion: the highest vehicle speed recorded by the 9,063 vehicles that passed the monitor over those 29 days (March 01 - 29) was 40 mph (one vehicle) on March 29th.
The data displayed in the table below can be summarized as follows:
68% (6,152 vehicles) were in compliance with the 25 mph speed limit (7 mph - 25 mph); 32% (2,859 vehicles) were in the low-risk range (26 - 35 mph); 0.06% (52 vehicles) were in the Medium-Rish category (35 - 44 mph); 0% were in the High-Risk category (45+ mph). The average speed was 26 mph. 85th percentile* speed was also 30 mph.

*Note that the 85th percentile speed is a term used by traffic engineers to define the speed that 85 percent of drivers will drive at or below under free-flowing conditions. Most people don't drive according to the posted speed limit, but instead account for the visual aspects of the road and a 'feel' for the road.
