I live north Springfield, probably “a lot” of homeless to all the suburb people from the surrounding towns. Not too much violence there’s the occasional shooting, but compared to actual big cities there’s hardly any. The high crime rate is mostly property crimes cus these tweakers be boostin lol. My neighbors ride around like 24 hours a day on bikes bringing shit back. So basically just keep things locked up and don’t leave valuables accessible, I never feel unsafe though. But hey since you’re in missouri you might as well get yourself a piece 🔫🤠
