There was a survey which reveals the names of top ten dangerous cities of the world
It is definitely not one of the ten most dangerous cities of the WORLD. It is in the top ten highest crime rates in the US, but the tourist areas, like the National Mall, are very safe.
I was told as a kid that everywhere East of the Capitol Building was dangerous.And then I realized why the NBA team(at the time) was called the Washington Bullets. Report Abuse
It depends on the survey, there are lots of different surveys out there it s hard to say without you naming a specific survey.Forbes has a list of the 15 most dangerous cities which include Philly, Las Vegas, Orlando, Baltimore but not DC. Here s the link: http://www.forbes.com/2009/04/23/most-da��Overall in the world? No. It the U.S.? I don t think so. DC s crime rate has improved with with measures like all hands on deck by the police department and other measures.Relatively speaking, considering the population of Washington D.C, and its suburbs in Maryland and Virginia, it s not that bad. It has some rough neighborhoods and just like any other city its best to use common sense (walk with people, lock your doors, secure valuables, etc). But its really not that bad.
D. C. is not one of the most dangerous cities in the world. That s just silly. We have diplomats and dignitaries from all over the world visiting us on a daily basis.We do have very dangerous neighborhoods, places that nobody wants to visit, especially after dark. But, like so much more in this life, a few individuals without morals, dignity or even the basic brains it takes to come in out of the rain, make life very hard for law abiding citizens.So, I guess the answer is....we re no worse than any other city in the USA. Just a whole lot more visible.
Not according to this blog.http://blog.travelpod.com/2009/03/19/10-��And everyone knows that you can trust anything and everything that you can find on the internet. !NOT!This is my help from Washington, D.C. United States of America. Please pick an answer as the best answer, even if it is not mine.
Queen of Answers: It is interesting that New York City is not on there! In addition, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles (proper) Houston, New Orleans, Boston.... These are big cities with large populations. I wonder about this survey? -
http://www.morganquitno.com/cit07pop.htmIn cities of over 500,000 people it is ranked # 4 most dangerous.
except for the rape, murder, and theft, we have very little crime here :]but then again i m from potomac so i may be biased...
It s like any city use common sense and you will be fine. Don t go walking without lights and go where other tourist are.
