"Do you feel safe walking alone at night in the city or area where you live?"

The average level of safety in the  top-50 metros is an almost identical 71 percent. Residents in Minneapolis-St. Paul are most likely to feel safe (80 percent). Feeling least safe are the residents of Memphis (55 percent).
