People here saying SF is dangerous, the homicide rate is less than 3 per 100k people. I wouldn’t call it dangerous by any means. Shit happens.

- mansion7 4y agoEspecially in the streets, sidewalks, and stoops of San Francisco!
- fred123 4y agoI’d consider that dangerous when you compare it to the ~10x lower rate in Western Europe
- dentalperson 4y agoWhere did you get that 3 per 100k from? In each of the last 2 years there were 55 homicides in SF from what I can tell. Maybe you're thinking of New York, which is half of SF's rate? https://sfist.com/2023/01/03/sf-sees-exact-same-number-of-homicides-in-2022-as-previous-year-while-burglaries-are-down/ https://sfist.com/2023/01/03/sf-sees-exact-same-number-of-ho... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...
- Hoyadonis 4y agoThe FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (second link) contains statistics from 2019. However, it seems to be the most recent edition. I have no idea if or where the 2020-2022 ones exist. If someome could point me to them or explain why they don't exist, I'd appreciate it.
- arroz 4y agoI think the data was from 2018
- roflulz 4y agoSF is 6.9 per 100K -> pretty high... higher than any city in Europe or Asia not currently with an active war... (On those continents, only Ukraine, Iraq, and Afghanistan are more dangerous than SF) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_homicide_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_homicide_rat... excluding those at war.
- julienb_sea 4y agoNot to defend SF but there are about 30 US cities with a higher homocide rate, that don't get nearly as much attention. SF is absolutely overrun by homeless though.
- gfdsgfsdgfs 4y agoHow many of those 30 US cities are as affluent as SF?
- sgammon 4y agoTo be fair he said "homocide" ( do not downvote me i am a gay man )
- arroz 4y agoThe section with SF doesn’t rank the cities My hometown has about 500 thousand people and is not there, it’s murder rate is about 10
- piva00 4y agoIt's 6.9 per 100k people, that's higher than São Paulo, Brazil...
- Cabronavirus 4y ago[dead]
- stefan_ 4y agoYet lower than Austin, Texas! Must be the administration.
- friend_and_foe 4y agoAustin looks a lot like SF these days...
- arroz 4y agoSP is one of the safest cities in Brazil I don’t feel like SP or SF is dangerous
