My still fairly new hometown ranked 48th on the list of Most Dangerous Cities Survey. At this point I'm enough of a Tacoman (Tacomanite? Tacomainian? I honestly don't know) to understand it could have been much worse. Not Flint worse, but worse nonetheless.
On a related note, via Exit 133 comes the Neighborhood Crime homepage. This handy county website allows one to track the crime stats in any area of Pierce County. According to this my area is more about kidnapping than murder. Meth sales are also down, which makes sense, as the creepy people in the apartment behind me finally moved away.
