Reply to comment by spicynuggies in Im French and I would like to move to the United States ( Pennsylvania ) by Hanaaaah

Pittsburgh is MUCH safer than Philadelphia. Of course, like any city, it has bad parts, but overall it is FAR safer. Considering philly is a major city in the USA and Pittsburgh is not, this should make sense. Pittsburgh is considered a "third class" city based on population. Philly is a "first class" city, but don't expect to find them to be classy :)

Could be second A. If not it is third class city. I'm not sure what PA cities are second A or how that's chosen specifically.

Ah jeez. I'm sorry. I didn't Google it first and had it in my head that the Paris of Appalachia and one of the best cities to live in the USA was a 3rd class city. I was way off on what the population numbers were to classify those cities.

Actually, the crime rates of both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are fairly similar. Yearly crime rate per 100k people in Philadelphia is at 4037, while Pittsburgh is at 3185.
