and before you guys hop on the population difference, the only reason the feds started reporting cincinnati at 363,000 is because of a challenge that happened after the stats came out. nobody knew for sure 60,000 people were floating around cincinnati the feds didn't know about so the stat rankings remain the same in principal. any of the cities could have challenged as well and possibly gained residents, hence lowering their per capita so its a static point.

Chicago actually has the highest murder rate in the country. Cincinnati is actually fairly safe. You should watch your back in any city you're in, but honestly, you don't have much to worry about if you're not it Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Oakland, St. Louis, and a few others. Actually, Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Baltimore honestly aren't that dangerous. That information isn't necessarily wrong (for the most part), It's just outdated.

Cincinnati does not belong on that list. KC definitely does and not sure why Indianapolis is not on there either. The murder rate and violent crime rate in Indy has skyrocketed over the last couple of years and rivals that of Chicago. Have seen this reported on the media outlets in Indy in fact.

The study quoted was done in 2007. This thread is seriously outdated.

I used to live in Avondale from 2003-2013 for the first 10 years of my life. It was quite dangerous. The neighboring residences were quite frequently subjected to random raids from the police. One guy was caught with cocaine which was allegedly bought from notorious Ohio drug-kingpin, Papa Joe. There were about six murders in 2009 or 2010. Being young and all, it was terrifying to spend my first decade in such a horrible place. The crime rate was very, very high and I remember we got robbed at least three times, one of which was at gunpoint. I've seen a lot of things that someone my age shouldn't see. Most of these unholy sightings happened as my siblings and I walked back from school. So, yeah, I'd say it's pretty dangerous.

^^^For many years I studied the crime statistics of numerous cities to compare which are safer vs. those that are not. While individual neighborhoods in every city have crime problems, when you look at the big picture and see a city as a whole, then some cities are safer than others. Things may have changed in Cincy since the last time I did any research. That was a good 15 years ago.
