Safety at night:Moderate
Like many regions, certain areas of Pennsylvania can be safer than others. Urban areas such as Philadelphia and Pittsburg might have more concerns about safety late at night, particularly in isolated or poorly-lit areas. There's often a heavier police presence in downtown areas of these cities, but it's always recommended to stay aware and make smart choices about travel after dark. Meanwhile, smaller towns and rural regions of Pennsylvania tend to have lower crime rates and can feel safer at night. However, regardless of where you are, it's important to stay aware of your surroundings, stay in well-lit areas, avoid isolated places, and trust your instincts. Always have a plan for how you're getting home, and let someone know where you are.
