Compared to the surrounding area. Not as bad as Manchester, but bad enough to justify investing in public safety.

The surrounding towns are mostly rural and have no downtown areas. Nashua still has a lower crime rate than Manchester and Concord despite its proximity to Lowell and ranks pretty high on the safest places to live in the country. Suggesting that crime is “high” under most measures here just isn’t accurate.

Alright, while I may be technically correct that it is a relatively high crime rate for the area (rural neighbors or not), I will concede that we're better than average relative to most similarly sized cities countrywide. I removed it from my comment.
