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.

In 2023? Pass those receipts.

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.

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.
