Default Wichita Falls Crime Questions

My family and I (7 & 5 yr old) are looking at WF for a possible relocation from CA due to an awesome job opportunity. Houses are cheap compared to Northern CA, job is awesome, found good schools, but the CRIME RATE IS UNBELEIVEABLE! I have done some research by calling real estate offices, chamber of commerce etc to try and get the real scoop, sounds like it is primarily isolated to the east side low income area, drugs & gangs.

If anyone who lives there would give me an HONEST opinion of the area related to crime, can you please respond to this post.

TIA!

I am female and lived in WF for about 6 years. Is a very nice place for raising a family. I never felt unsafe, but did live on southwest end of town near Fairway and Barnett. And would not be in the downtown area after dark. The East side is the rougher side of town and you don't want to be there probably day or night. Otherwise, I did not see crime as a factor for not moving there or for leaving. I had to leave WF for a job situation, but keep thinking about moving back!
