I actually did that a couple of years ago right after we moved into our neighborhood. You are correct it is scary.
We live just outside the city limits of a bedroom community outside of Nashville. It is very middle class with lots of kids, etc. My little subdivision only has about 40 homes but down the main road that goes from our subdivision the 2 miles to town there are several other subdivisions.
While my little subdivision had no sex offenders the surrounding ones literally less than a mile away had somewhere between five and ten if memory serves me correct. I was shocked.
A few years ago when my daughter was staying in Philadelphia for a few months she checked the sex offender registry for the apartment address she was staying at and there were hundreds of sex offenders within a very small radius. Scary.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
