I didn't go to Yale LOL. And exploring the city is exactly what made me make the comment. Safe but menacing if you don't have street smarts. Just being real for people who actually want to know. Not bs.

Menacing? That right there discredits you completely.

Lol I’ve lived here 15 years. Never had a problem. I can’t even remember a time I felt remotely scared here.

You’re fear mongering. You’re not spreading anything but misinformation. Go back to whatever bubble you live in.

Those who want to know what’s New Haven is like should ignore trolls like this guy. Ask someone who legit lives here.

Eta: truly embarrassing, the trolls here acting like New Haven is Chicago in the 80s. Coming up with cherry picked stats, typical. Yes, crime exists. No, it’s not dangerous. Get a grip.

No need to respond to misinformation, I just report it, block, and move on. This sub has an anti-urban bias that isn’t surprising, but it sure is embarrassing for the clowns and their fear mongering, which mostly stems from racism, let’s be honest.

New Haven is statistically one of the most dangerous cities in CT. It’s great that you haven’t had any issues but you’re just objectively wrong that it’s a “safe” city to live (compared to other CT cities). It’s weird you’re even trying to say otherwise when crime statistics are something that’s super easy to verify.

Well...we're 25 days into 2023 so we're not going to have much data for that. We'll look at 2022. Again, this has to be one of the easiest statistics to verify so it's kinda weird to even question it.

Easy to read list:

Data straight from CT government - look at New Haven lit up like a fucking Christmas tree:

And if you REALLY wanna get spicy, take a journey through the FBIs UCR for CT:

I’ll own my mistake: I initially read that as one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Definitely makes sense that it’s one of the most dangerous cities in a state with otherwise low crime compared to the nation.

Appreciate the info. Thanks.

I also thought you were the other guy and definitely coulda been less snarky. But yea, exactly. The most dangerous city in CT is still a pretty safe place to be. Just "menacing" seems like a fairly accurate term to me if you're used to the rest of CT lol.

Thank you I literally looked it up and was thinking I was accurate but happy to have someone validate lol

That last link shows a big trend downwards for the last ten years.

Yea, CT as a whole has been trending downward pretty decently for the last ten years. It also wasn't hit nearly as hard by the Covid crime spike that a lot of rest of the country saw.

Yeah ok buddy. Everyone knows New Haven is a crime-wracked city and many neighborhoods are simply unsafe to be in.
