I know like all major cities Houston & Dallas have problems with crime but I was just wondering which one is more dangerous?

South Dallas is bad. Areas North, and North of Dallas are very nice.

The Miami area is one of America's most dangerous. And yeah I was just wondering because crime is a major issue where I live and when I move I don't wanna have the same problems.

Nope there are bad parts in both cities...The immediate NE section of Houston is BAD, so is the Hobby area, the SW area (gulfton, sharpstown, Alief) But there are probably the same number of bad areas in Dallas too.
