Bet that it would surprise you that property crime in SF is 20% higher than in Detroit. Course violent crime is double in Detroit. But things are getting better in Detroit while they're getting worse in SF.

Most of the violent crime in Detroit is confined to a few zip codes which definitely are not where you'd locate a tech company. There are lots of video cameras installed downtown and at places like gas stations and liquor stores which used to be crime magnets.
Here's the City of Detroit crime viewer. On the left check off all the crimes under violent crimes. Be sure to set the date range or you only get the past couple of weeks. It takes a while to pan but you can see that there are fewer crimes in the downtown area than say the East part of the city.
