How safe is Fort Lauderdale?

Sunrise near Sawgrass is VERY safe but I would caution against walking along main roads at night due to traffic accidents or assault attempts. Broward is very unsafe but Sunrise the city close to Sawgrass Mall is good. Wilton Manors is also pretty safe, but I don't like Fort Lauderdale at night. I also frequent Miami, and Wynwood is pretty safe but expensive. South Beach is rife with harassment, I'd only go in a group.
