There are parts of Springfield that are full of crime and drugs. Like any downtown, industrious city, crime is higher and there is somewhat of a "hood" on the North side. It is easily escapable and avoidable for anyone though. If you don't want to drive through it or don't want to see it, just plan to drive around it or don't live by it. Other than annoying teenagers doing "funny" pranks, crime is not high in Chatham and the police are responsive to everything, especially pulling people over for whatever reason they find worthy of stopping someone.
