One of the 20 Most Violent Cities - The Numbers Do
The crime here is terrible and rapidly getting worse, and also spreading to the suburbs. When we moved to our suburb 6 years ago there was hardly any crime and a lot more trees. Now we hear sirens every single night, and there was a vehicular homicide right around the corner! Some parts of Columbus look like downtown Detroit, with boarded up old houses and no businesses because they are so tired of getting robbed at gunpoint. Robbery is rampant, rape is rampant (one OSU student was raped outside in broad daylight and another was stabbed in the lungs by a total stranger). We liked Columbus but are trying to get out of here because of all the crime.
