"The U.S. Census shows New Haven had the largest population growth of any place over 100,000 in New England in the last decade and Bloomberg.com reports New Haven has the nation’s second highest apartment occupancy rate, topped only by New York City."

"You should be aware that there have been dubious statistical “rankings” circulating about the crime rates in New Haven relative to other cities. One claim this summer received much play in the media, even though it is not a valid comparison. DataHaven, a community nonprofit dedicated to quality public information, analyzed that “most dangerous” claim and stated: “Contrary to many reports, this is not an FBI ranking and it is not accurate.” You can read their full discussion by clicking here."

The only source for that "FBI ranking" I could find was the New Haven Register.

Thanks for sharing.

Maybe they tried to put New Haven down because they grew in population growth. Haters go away LOL

Seriously? Do you know how low crime the Yale campus is? They don't maintain one of the lowest acceptance rates in the world due to a risky campus.

I remember being alone at night in New Haven and around the bus station and saw a bunch of ghetto people and I didnt get hurt, and some were nice to me. Whats the problem, you think they going to attack you.
