I’m shocked by this research done by Wallet Hub. I would have never thought that this particular city had the highest homicide rate problem in Florida. I say that because I live in the city I am speaking of. So far, I feel safe here and have never had to call the local police department. Before moving here, I lived in Fort Myers!
