How safe is Worcester for women?

Worcester is fine during the day, and is fine in certain parts of the city. At night, especially on Park Ave or Main St in Main South, it is not advisable to walk alone (there are often people on drugs wandering around.)

There are certain areas to be careful especially at night but for the most part, I feel safe in my own city. It’s also one of the biggest cities in New England so you are going to have some bad areas as well as the good. Just be aware of your surroundings.
