On the east coast? Is it Charlotte, the DMV, Boston maybe? We know it's not Baltimore or Miami so ... help me out.

NYC.

For the whole country, I think San Diego might have NYC beat by a little bit. Interesting that the safest big cities in the country tend to have large Hispanic populations, with many immigrants both legal and illegal.

NYC overall has an impressive crime rate. However, there are certainly plenty of dangerous hoods there. I think I rather deal with the hoods of San Diego than parts of the Bronx or Brooklyn.

The eight safest cities of 1 million+ populations by murder rates, in order (2010-2016, source FBI-UCR '10-15 and public city reports for '16):

San Diego: 39/2.87
Seattle: 22/3.34
San Jose: 36/3.61
Austin: 31/3.64
Portland: 22/3.67
Raleigh: 17/3.83
Salt Lake City: 8/4.37
New York: 403/4.82

These are the only eight large cities with an average murder rate this decade below 5 per 100,000. Only three of these cities are not in the West; only two of them (Raleigh, New York) have a black population higher than 8%. Just some interesting characteristics to note...

The West Coast/Interior West is the safest region in the country. It has the safest large cities in the nation, and even the presumed worst cities out west (LA, Oakland, San Bernardino, Vegas, Phoenix) pale in scale of violence in comparison to the worst cities in the South, Midwest, and Northeast...
