It's true. Compare the murder rate of NYC to Indy, do the same with Chicago. Indianapolis is more like the small-towns in safety, and I have been there and to Chicago several times each. I feel safer in indy than in even the good parts of chi-town.

Notice how the numbers in brackets are all] higher for Indianapolis than they are for NYC... In case you're not quite smart enough to figure it out, that means that the crime rate in Indianapolis is higher than it is in NYC. Significantly higher, in fact.
