Buffalo Crime Rates vs. The National Average

The Buffalo, NY area has seen a renaissance in recent years.

Property value in the city is rising.

Young adults are moving back to Buffalo…

… and there seems to be a national story on the resurgence every week.

Unfortunately, that hasn’t carried over to a reduction in crime according to neighborhoodscout.com

Take a look at this graphic and the startling averages in Buffalo compared to national averages.

Murder: 5.75 times more likely vs. national average

Rape: 1.95 times more likely vs. national average

Robbery: 4.85 times more likely vs. national average

Assault: 2.78 times more likely vs. national average
