No city is perfectly safe. But while in Tampa, it’s good to know which areas are the safest and to avoid. It’s a big metropolitan area, so crimes are expected, with a crime ratio of 2,080:100,000.
Ironically, Ybor City is one of the neighborhoods you need to avoid during nighttime. Yes, it’s a tourist hotspot during the daytime. But once darkness falls, it’s a different story. Ybor City’s crime rate is at a whopping 673% above the city average.
The downtown area is also notorious for property crimes at 1:9 and violent crimes at 1:37.  While Drew Park also has a 420% above city average crime rate.
Keep safe staying around the safest areas in Tampa like Palma Ceia, Harbour Island, and Parkland Estates.
