I don’t know you, so it’s hard to know what you’d be a likely victim of. Springfield isn’t that bad. It’s not 1970’s NYC. Theft is bad, but it’s getting bad everywhere. Homelessness is bad, but it’s getting bad everywhere. I’d be careful walking around at night, but…I’d be careful anywhere.

I guess if you’re a boring, middle class, moral panic type, Ozark or Nixa would be better, though I cannot personally imagine living anywhere that boring and chain store. Springfield is boring and small enough. I love in the MSU area and as long as you’re safe you’re probably going to be fine.

Catalytic converter theft seems so common that maybe 1 in 7 people I met seem to have been a victim of it at least once.

I'd say for the most part tho junkies won't really bother you. You see some that look like they're having a tough time but otherwise leave people alone but then you see some stuff like this every once in a while. Springfield is relatively nice compared to KC though so 🤷🏻‍♀️
