Memphis vs Chicago....a joke right?....not when it comes to crime,...which city do you prefer as far as crime is concerned
Which feels safer
Which city have the most dangerous suburbs
Which has the most dangerous inner city
I would feel safer walking down the streets of__________ any day than ___________
Both have their areas that are safe. Both have their areas where it isn't very safe. It's hard to compare the two because of the size difference for me -- hard data aside.

Chicago is much safer, at least most of Chicago is safe, unlike memphis where most of it isn't safe.
It's hard to compare both cities because Chicago is a good deal bigger, but there are areas of Chicago that are larger in population than Memphis combined which are safer, sure...and there are areas probably the opposite of safety vs. memphis too.
Memphis was #9. Chicago didn't make the top 10 list.
I was shocked too see Kansas City at #10. I hadn't heard things were getting that bad there. Are gangs from St. Louis moving westward or something or is it developing it's own? It's sad it's one of the top spots in my list of cities to move in the future and this is not good news.
I also didn't think Oakland was this high up. I knew things were getting pretty bad there but I didn't think it was #3.
Edit:
Alright I just realized that list includes burglary and car theft as well which are property crimes. This would be a better list for violent crimes:
They both have some deplorable ghettos, Chicago especially. But Chicago has lots of nice upper class and middle/working class neighborhoods, and I don't know if I've ever heard of anything like that in Memphis. So I'd say Chicago is safer. Both cities need to get a grip on their crime problems though as both get way too much attention for their crime!
Most cities are only dangerous for people involved in drugs, gangs and dealing with people who are involved.
I don't really think of it as this city is safer than the other because personal lifestyle choices play such a big role in safety.
