  >For Bronx, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in Bronx is one in 94. >NeighborhoodScout's analysis also reveals that Bronx's rate for property crime is 19 per one thousand population. This makes Bronx a place where there is an above average chance of becoming a victim of a property crime, when compared to all other communities in America of all population sizes. Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary. Your chance of becoming a victim of any of these crimes in Bronx is one in 54. Take a walk down there some night and tell me what it looks like up close. Don't bring your wallet. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ny/bronx/crime https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ny/bronx/crime

    Unless it's gone radically downhill since I was there 4 years ago, it's really just fine... I mean if you're paranoid about ever having anything happen to you, sure, don't go there. But honestly you should be more worried about heart disease than murder.

    This is what I personally can't stand about internet posters. Posting forcefully about things they have done no research on. The borough of the Bronx compared to a number of cities Using total crime as that's what was used. Chances of being a victim of property/violent crime Bronx 1 in 95, 1 in 54 Cleveland 1 in 63, 1 in 16 Denver 1 in 148, 1 in 28 San Francisco 1 in 127, 1 in 16 25% more likely to be a affected by violent crime than in San Francisco. And Less likely to be affected by property crime. No one is saying all areas of the Bronx are utopias (definitely not), but from what I've experienced, people posting comments like the above are either made to disparage, or often are just blindly repeating what someone has read with zero knowledge of facts. > With a crime rate of 70 per one thousand residents, San Francisco has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 14. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ny/bronx/crime https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/mo/st-louis/crime https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/oh/cleveland/crime https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/co/denver/crime https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/san-francisco/crime

  Wow what an improvement all around, thanks for that. Some of the empty lots are still there but fenced off and with far less blight.
