No. NYC crime is lower than almost every major city.
It's always fun when finding out someone who lives in a rural area has a higher per capita crime rate than NYC while they complain about how NYC is a crime shithole.
- psunavy03 3y agoPer capita crime will still be more densely concentrated in areas of higher population density. So yes, NYC could have a lower crime rate than a rural area by number of people, but still have it be much more "in your face" because all those crimes are happening in a smaller geographical footprint. And crime being "in your face" as opposed to happening where you don't notice it is what makes people think "wow, this is a shithole."
