Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Austin etc. are safer.
Actually, NYC, Seattle, Portland, and Austin are roughly in the same bracket, their rates are similar. NYC 2014 murder rate was 3.9, and Austin, the safest of the 4 is at 3.5 (Seattle is at 3.7, Portland 3.6). With that said those are fairly small cities and were not included in the study, and if you take a section of NYC the size of those cities like Staten Island for example, it would be much much safer.
With that said, they are cities in other parts of the world, like Japan, that would make Portland, San Diego, or Austin look like warzones in comparison.

Yes. A common thing in Japan is when a woman needs to step out of a line on the street they would leave their purse on their place until they get back. Imagine doing that here... lmao.

Some people just assume that those cities are safer, for what reason, I don't know? Maybe because they have no crime TV shows.
