I don't have kids and live alone so I don't have much to fear from a sex offender. I'd keep an eye on him (or her) but wouldn't sweat it much. That doesn't mean I would invite him over for a beer but I wouldn't run him out of the neighborhood. It's better they live next to me where they can do no harm than across from a school or something like that.

If I had kids it would be an entirely different story.
