How many Americans feel unsafe walking because of crime? That question was included in the 2020 National Health Interview Survey along with several others meant to probe perceptions of the walking environment.
Overall, 11 percent of people aged 18 or older say crime makes it unsafe for them to walk. Women are more likely to feel that way (13 percent) than men (9 percent). Here are the percentages for women and men by age...
Percent of women (and men) who say crime makes it unsafe for them to walk
Aged 18 to 24: 17.1% (9.3%)
Aged 25 to 44: 14.1% (10.1%)
Aged 45 to 64: 12.7% (8.9%)
Aged 65-plus: 9.9% (6.5%)
The perception that crime makes it unsafe to walk falls with age—particularly among women.
