I just checked on Sperlings and the property crime rate is higher in Branson Missouri than it is in Detroit. It's higher in Myrtle Beach than it is in Memphis. It's higher in Crossville TN than it is in Washington D.C.

So, while the big cities have skewed violent crime rates due to gangs etc., property crime which is much more common is a plague in smaller towns due to opioid addiction, meth, etc.

There's that to consider.

I just don't watch news anymore. Watching local news would only make it worse. All the local newscasts I have watched have made things look really bad. There is no good news, there is only the bad on local channels. Watching today here in Cincinnati area, like Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Peoria, Memphis, Nashville and others are all in a contest to make sure they show the locals the very worst of the city. Why would you want to subject yourself to seeking out local news. I am sure if you gave up Columbus and watched Memphis you would see the same thing. Chicago and New York locals make me never want to go there again.

Same here, which is exactly why I said "heavy eye roll". I think its silly to glean a perspective of what a city is actually like based off of any form of local or national news. The news will always lead with shootings, muggings, traffic accidents, political negativity, fires....and it's the same in every city with a local affiliate I've watched news from. Columbus is just one of them, and I happen to live here and know better. Change the name of the city to Dayton, Cleveland, or Indianapolis and its the same

While some will disagree, in my opinion, reading the local paper gives a better chance of knowing what a place is like. Sadly, local papers are what we've discussed on here: struggling and disappearing.

Yeah, watching "the news" at 6pm or 11pm, for me is a complete waste of my time. As a friend said to me, and I agree, "its (bleeping) depressing" because 90-95% of it is negative bad news. I'll pass, and have done so for a long time.

There's been only one place in Ohio where I was truly scared and hyper aware of my surroundings and that place was Youngstown. My brother went to school there at YSU and the cops told students "if you get stopped at a red light at night, look both ways and floor it."

All cities have their bad pockets, but if you mind your business of where you are and don't make a fuss you'll be fine.

Or you could just wait it out till the hipsters come in and gentrify the neighborhood and make it all nice nice. I saw that happen to both OTR and Northside in Cincy.
