You can compare relative crime rates of every major city in the US one against the other here:

2024 Compare Crime Rates

Ocala is much more dangerous than NYC.
Leesburg is much more dangerous than NYC.

Orlando is much more dangerous than NYC.
Peoria IL is much more dangerous than NYC.
Phoenix is much more dangerous than NYC.

I know certain news media loves to attack and endlessly play videos of crimes but NYC is safer than most cities in the US.
1) You can find data online to support any position you wish to espouse.

2) I have heard rumors, which I choose to believe, that the police in my city are increasingly refusing to take crime reports. (Due to being understaffed, and possibly, pressure from superiors.)

3) This is the best of all possible worlds.
