How do I (33f) tell my partner (27m) he's overreacting and not seeing his privilege?

My partner and I have been together for almost 3 years now.

We are looking into buying a home because our landlord is selling our building. I personally have moved six times in the last 5 years and I am getting really sick of moving all the time.

We are having trouble agreeing on a home because we have to sacrifice things due to our budget.

We may have to sacrifice location, the type of neighborhood, yard space etc.

We have had situations where we put in offers for homes and got out bid because there is usually a crowd of people who also want the home as well because it's in a nice neighborhood and it has nice things etc.

However, we went to see a beautiful home yesterday and we loved it so much and I didn't have any problems with the area myself.

But my partner ended up looking at the police reports over the last week and got really concerned that the area wasn't safe.

I have tried to tell him that the area doesn't seem that bad, there is proof that children are around, there seems to be reports from other neighbors that the area is more or less quiet.

But he got really hung up that there is a liquor store down the street and he is scared that drunk people might walk by and heckle us or something if we're outside, while we are a bit concerned about the possible Trump supporters down the street, I think they will probably leave us alone.

But for some reason he's just really hung up on how he thinks the area is not great for us.

Keep in mind, he was raised with a family that loves him (mom and dad still together, tons of siblings, happy childhood), has always owned their own home in quiet suburban neighborhoods with nice neighbors and nicely kept lawns etc.

Meanwhile I grew up living in apartments with neighbors stacked on top of us etc.

My mom could always afford cheaper apartments in higher crime areas and we never had really an issue, so this type of "bad" (it really didn't seem that bad, and people say it's more or less quiet) neighborhood is really a non issue for me.

He is very hung up on the fact that it is so different from growing up in a perfect suburban neighborhood with nice houses etc and he's very anxious about living there.

I honestly think it's his white privilege that's showing right now and I am frustrated because it seems like he doesn't understand that we may need to take compromises in things like the neighborhood that might seem rough to some people but we can manage. I feel as though he doesn't understand that if we keep looking for homes in good considered neighborhoods with nice homes and stuff, I believe we will keep running into the issue we are currently having.

And please don't get me wrong, I did tell him that I'm okay with passing on this home even though we both love it and the yard is beautiful. But I think he's not realizing the kind of sacrifices we might need to make in order to secure a good home in our HCOL(high cost of living) area we are looking for.

It is frustrating that this neighborhood doesn't seem any different from the neighborhoods I grew up in or lived in for several years without issue but he seems to think there's more of an issue than there actually is

I am sure that the answer is that we pass on the house to prevent resentment and I am okay with that.

But how do I explain to him that his privilege is showing and that he might need to be okay with the less fortunate area if we can't afford the homes in the nicer areas?
