Grand Rapids is relatively safe in the city. I wouldn’t feel safe walking around everywhere at night. I feel safe during the day though. There are quite a lot of homeless people and sketchy crowds but I have never been aggressively cat called. I do carry pepper spray at night with my friends but during the day it’s quite safe. Transportation is definitely a bit sketchy. HOWEVER the areas around Grand Rapids are extremely safe. The holland to Hudsonville area is so so so safe. You could walk around any of those towns at 2 AM and be fine.
