In all likelihood, the number of workers commuting to Niagara Falls everyday isn't much higher than the number of tourists in Albany, which also wasn't included in the above calculations. It certainly wouldn't make up a 10% difference between the two cities.

Even Gary, Indiana has fewer assaults per day than Niagara Falls despite having a population of 80,000:

Same can be said about Youngstown, Ohio (pop. 66,013):

That's the kind of company that Niagara Falls is in.

Cities such as Binghamton, Troy, Schenectady and Utica are more similar to NF than Albany.

It's pretty sad that the site of a world-famous tourist destination cannot elevate itself above the likes of Schenectady and Utica, two of the worst cities in the entire state in terms of reputation. Talk about not living up to potential!

No.....Albany isn't on the same level or doesn't have the same reputation for tourism as Niagara Falls does. Same for Gary or Youngstown, which don't even make sense in terms of being mentioned in this thread. Both of those latter cities have homicide rates that make NF's look very small and burglaries are higher in both. Robberies are much higher in Gary as well. NF likely has comparatively better schools than both as well, as it at least had a grad rate around the state percentage not that long ago at NFHS.

Also, those other cities are similar in terms of size and would make more sense in terms of a comparison instead of Albany. Schenectady and Utica ironically have had population gains within their city limits in recent years.
