I moved here for a job almost a year ago.

Elm street (sort of the ‘main street’ - city hall is there) should be safe. Few homeless people on occasion, but if you were to be mugged there even later at night it’d at least be surprising.

South of the ‘main’ city core near the mall is also safe. North of the main city is safe. West of the river is fairly safe. Out in the periphery/suburbs should be extra safe.

The area immediately east of Elm street is the ‘bad part of town’ that most complaints on the subreddit about drugs/homelessness/crime stem from. There’s a homeless encampment around there, and weather permitting they’ll switch over to one of the nearby parks. Seen a grand total of one altercation leading to arrest in the past year with my own eyes, so it’s not like assaults are rampant.

This is one of the safest states in the country and the worst parts of its largest city are… right around the national average, as far as I know.
