[quote=Anonymous]There's clearly a higher risk around here than in many areas in the city, but it's still extremely unlikely that your student will have any issue. (We live nearby and my kids have walked around the area with no problem starting around age 12.) Overall violent crime in DC was down 29 percent from 2024 to 2025, and has declined another 26 percent year to date. (Some people worry about bad reporting, but murders, which are reported very well, have also declined by similar amounts.) There's still plenty of room for improvement, and there was definitely a surge in the previous few years, but the constant "Crime is skyrocketing!" is just wrong. https://mpdc.dc.gov/dailycrime[/quote]
