the least of such properties is ALGRA with an index of 1.2. This is evidenced by the presence of such properties as divisional/area Policy command headquarters in OBS and NBS schools churches and mosques. As for the neighbourhood whose units have the highest number of undesirable properties NBS seems to have the highest incidence of such as can be seen in the index of 2.2 while ALGRA seems to have the least at 1.2. In summary, NBS outshone the other neighbourhoods in a milieu with an overall index of 3.1 while ALGRA has the least at an index at 1.2. The implication of this is that there is a need to incorporate the presence of safe properties toward planning neighbourhood environment and having in mind to eliminate undesirable properties in developed areas.
