It's high the list no matter how you look at it:
> 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 18. Within California, more than 98% of the communities have a lower crime rate than San Francisco.

- IndoorPatio 4y agoFunny you chose that source, which does not list SF as being in the top 100 most dangerous cities in the US: https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/blog/top100dangerous https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/blog/top100dangerous It's about half as dangerous as city ranked #73, Farmington, NM, and over 6x less dangerous than #1 Bessemer, AL.
- throwaway81523 4y agoLow danger (low violent crime rate) does not equal low crime rate. It wouldn't surprise me if San Francisco has more tax evaders per capita. They are even probably concentrated in the financial district, which has lots of high rises, so more crime per square mile as well. I call for a crackdown.
