Murder/10,000 City Site 1.95 Philadelphia, PA Philadelphia, PA 3.72 Baltimore, MD Baltimore, MD 0.56 New York, NY New York, NY 2.38 Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. 0.71 Ft. Lauderdale Ft. Lauderdale, FL 1.40 Miami, FL Miami, FL
Lauderhill FL 33311 Demographics, Lauderhill 33311 Population Statistics
Thankfully it's not as bad as some of those places, but it's higher than the national average in crimes (all categories?) and worse in some parts than the Big Apple. Miami, when they are feeling frisky, tries to give Philly a contest for "worst place to visit". The location that my father and I used to work at is in an area that the police avoided purposely on account of the residents would routinely shoot at passing cruisers. SWAT Team and VICE Squad busts were common, as were fresh bullet holes in the sides and roof of the warehouse.
The point of this that just because one area is a larger urban area than others doesn't really make it a worse place regarding crime. New York is a huge urban population, squeezed into a small area. Yet their crime rate is lower than other areas far less dense. It's a combination of things (primarily composed of density, average education, average income). Where I went to middle school was very poor and very poorly educated (and drug ridden). That makes it pretty shitty.

Re: Faith in humanity levels dropping
Dont take the posts from xav and myself about coral gables as im talking about crime rate. That was in fun on both sides i believe. My point is still the areas are completely different environments. Its actually kind of difficult to explain. I'll have to put some though into why they are so different and get back to you.
