Is Raleigh Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Raleigh

I would say Raleigh is generally safe, with the exception of Downtown. Not that it is particularly UNsafe, but after about 9 or 10 at night I would be wary walking alone in Downtown Raleigh. Most of the City is pretty laid back and chill though.

Mostly safe with a few sketchy areas, just like in most cities. Bars, restaurants and clubs are generally safe. Downtown Raleigh can be a bit hit or miss post pandemic. When in doubt, take an Uber or Lyft.

Raleigh is a generally very safe city to explore or live in. There are of course certain areas of downtown Raleigh, and Durham as well that are a bit rough. Lots of college students and frat parties, so always take precaution when going out!

It’s relatively safe. Lots of law enforcement around every corner. Sometimes some streets should be avoided but if you use your brain then you can stay safe. I have never had any problems but it’s always good to stay cautious.

I feel super safe in Raleigh. I’ve walked alone at night in many parts of the city and felt completely fine. Some areas of the city can be sketchy, but if you walk past no one will bother you. Most of the outskirts of the city are very neighborhood-ly and safe

Raleigh and the surrounding areas are generally safe. Patriarchy is in full effect here like most places and you can expect a standard dose of objectification and harassment. I don't worry about getting robbed or my house broken into.

I’ve been living in Raleigh for the past 10 months and I have felt very safe everywhere I go. When going to downtown you will find a lot of policemen so that makes you feel safer. I live in the northwest area and it’s pretty safe. I know there’s an area around capital boulevard that you will see people asking for money on the streets.

Solo travel

It was a relatively safe place, during the day it was fine I felt tots safe but at night (sadly like most places) as a woman it was a little sketchy so I wouldn’t go out alone anywhere. The restaurants and activities are very eclectic, it’s definitely an artistic community. Great food low prices comparatively.
