The crime rate average of the city is way over the national average, considering that 87% of America is relatively safer than Savannah, with the city crime ratio of 56.17:1000 victims annually.
It drastically falls if you’re traveling around the southeastern portions of the city, with only 34.48:1000, and can get as high as 125:1000 if you’re in the northeastern part.
If you plan to be in Savannah, the southern portion is the safest. With only 740 cases annually.
But like everywhere else, staying aware of what’s happening around you is your best option.
