Review of Binghamton, New York


Crime in Binghamton
Star Rating - 11/20/2008
I live in the Binghamton metropolitan statistical area and the crime is good. The crime rate and most importantly the murder rate is low.

I'm not sure what you mean by "good" considering it is higher than the state and national average. And for violent crime, only 5% of cities in the entire country have a higher crime rate than Binghamton. That doesn't seem "good" to me. The ONLY category of crime that is lower in Binghamton is vehicle theft, because more and more people are moving here with no cars.
