Actually, when I go back and read this, I sense some sarcasm.

If that was the case, my bad!

That sums up the whole discussion nicely. I've lived in many of the northern Cincinnati suburbs and I've never had any issues.

Yeah exactly what Cincy-Rise said... local news, anywhere, is a joke. They report what people will tune in to watch - which is violence, sex, etc. People get shot but there is usually a reason for that. Does some crack head getting capped for a dime of rocks make a city dangerous? To me it doesnt. Some neighborhoods are a little sketchier than others but tell me a place where this isnt true. Generally speaking Cincy is one of the most friendliest and safest cities. Thats why its known as a city to raise a family in.

Once again, it is what you make it. Nothing is inheriently dangerous if you dont run with the wrong crowd. If you compare Cincy to other cities of its size i bet its "crime rate" is lower then most. But again - even then - its not like people cant go out at night and enjoy there life here. Cincy is perfectly safe and friendly.

why don't you make a table comparing cities of cincinnati's size and the crime/homicide rate and how they rank nationally?

hillside, you have been told this many many times before but it is worth repeating. the borders of the city proper are arbitrary at best and not reflective of the actual city making direct comparisons meaningless. The only real way to compare the data would be to look at the entire region.

there is a city and there are its accompanying suburbs. analyzing how safe a suburb is does not validate safety in a city. if you open that can, then you have to look into the isolated poverty rates, rates of concentration, the "floater" class that isn't always poor but can't sustain lower middle, and the placement of major employers in junction/comparison with the location of service industries, social services and highways. you have to look into dollars per development, and the demographic or entity targeted to serve capital. what school district does the community have? this is not dependent on city boundaries. poverty breeds on isolation, and the staggering socio-racial segregation in the cincinnati area disqualifies the idea that the suburban isn't that different from the urban.

I understand that the safety of a suburb does not increase the safety of a city, but there are many cities that appear artificially safe due to the inclusion of their suburbs. It would actually probably be better to strip those cities of their outlying suburbs for the comparison rather than add the suburbs to the non-metro cities
