San Diego maintains its rank as one of the nation's safest large cities

Contact Jim Frimmer for all your San Diego real estate needsThe FBI's report on violent crime and property crime shows that there was a nationwide drop in crime in 2009.

Of course, that doesn't mean much if you were one of the crime victims.

Cities were ranked by number of crimes per 1,000 people.

San Diego reported 5,931 violent crimes, down from 6,047 in 2008. That ranked third behind Honolulu and San Jose, the same as in 2008.

San Diego reported 32,246 crimes, down from 40,365 in 2008. That ranked fourth behind New York (142,000),
Los Angeles (85,670), and San Jose (22,755). New York and Los Angeles surprised me, so I have to remember that we're talking crimes per 1,000 people, another reason why it's really important to dig deeper into these types of stories, much deeper than the headline.

I love San Diego, and visit as often as I can.  I've recently had the opportunity to serve clients relocating from San Diego to Seattle, and felt pre-connected with them due to my affinity for the city.

San Diego is a great place to live... I do miss the west coast.... I lived in SF for over 25 years... and there are definately some safety challenges.  My dad used to laugh because I had 5 locks on the door and when I went home to relatively crime free Okla... I was locking everything... and people thought I was paranoid.

Jim...San Diego is a beautiful place -  I love to visiting there when I can.  Numbers are really hard to digest.  It's easy to find numbers to make just about any case you wish to promote.

Not only do you have a low crime rate for city of its size but the weather is also ideal.  I'd say it's definitely one of the best places to live.  Lucky you!

Hey, Everyone - Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

I'm trying to catch up on all my blog posts since I've been neglecting the, for good cause, though, since I've been busy.

Since this post is quite old, I won't respond to each and every comment. Rather, I'll read through all the comments and respond to any that have questions or otherwise need a response.

I'll also be by your blog soon to return the favor by reading your posts and leaving comments, too. Do unto others as they have already done unto you. lol

Again, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Make it a great day, a great week, a great month, and finish out 2010 on a natural high!
