The crime rate in Toronto in recent years has been about the same as that of NYC.
All crime?
I thought it was just a spike in murders in 2018. It made the headlines...I think they had 90 or so, almost double their usual. So far as of the end of March, Toronto has had 15, so it's back down.
Meanwhile NYC so far this year is seeing a 30 percent increase in homicides.
NYC historically and from a gullible person's eyes is still seen as "the center of the universe", "the model city".
But if you're being realistic, you'd know it also has the reputation of rude people/citizens, dirty streets with garbage bags piled up on the sidewalks, is overly crowded, extremely high COL, it's a skill to drive through Manhattan and make it out with you car in one piece, and overall it's just a very stressful place to be. I wouldn't say that's a necessarily "good" reputation. Oh, and I hope you like giant rats and bed bugs!
D.C.- as a city minus the politics, it should have a very good rep. Unfortunately, politics is *everything* there, so you can't ignore that. Nobody likes being around politics.
Chicago- Nice city, but unfortunately the high murder and crime rate reputation is well deserved, as is the "most corrupt city" in America reputation. It's also geographically surrounded by corn on all sides, so compared to the other cities which offer a more interesting terrain, this might be boring for a lot of people. Don't forget the frigid and literally deadly cold winters and the hot, humid, and sticky summers that you naturally get being in the good ol' Midwest.
SF/Bay Area- Crazy hippies/hipsters, homelessness, needles, extraordinarily expensive, you basically *need* a high paying tech job to have an even decent life there, Starbucks drinking snowflakes, earthquakes, yadda yadda yadda. Not a good reputation
LA- Illegal immigrants and homeless people in tents, gang reputation (though this is mostly outdated at this point), abhorrent traffic and smog, no good public transportation for a city of its size, horrible airport, and a stuck up mentality if you happen to live in the wealthy areas. Not to mention the "fake" people. Oh, and it's one of those places that hardly has "seasons".
Never even been there, but Toronto has my vote for best rep, simply because all other cities have their own really bad problems that stand out easily. That doesn't necessarily mean *I* would live there, just reputation-wise alone (what this post is asking) I'd say it wins for the best.

Definitely Toronto. You rarely hear anyone say anything negative about Toronto.
NYC and LA are polarizing that I feel most people love or hate those two cities.
Chicago and SF get hate for a lot of different reasons. Chicago for crime and its politics. SF for its politics and people.
DC, being the political capital I think doesn't necessarily get a bad reputation but doesn't get a good one either. I think it's kind of "just there" for most Americans and most seem to care less about it as a city or its residents.
I never hear anyone say anything negative, or positive, about Toronto. It's not in the US, and, generally, not on most people's radar.

Chicago is not surrounded by corn on all sides. Also, you forget, on one side of the city, is a lake that looks like an ocean. A convenient oversight on your part?

Right, but a lot of those cities have not only water, but mountains/hills as well. More interesting to a lot of people rather than flatness and corn, which can be found to the north, west, south, and southeast of Chicago. So basically, all sides other than the immediate east.

Per the CD rules for City>City " Compare U.S. or North American cities to one another..."
It doesn't have to be in the US.
