It’s pretty normal during the day, but at night, once you hear gunshots a few blocks away, I would really avoid going out. I’ve never seen something like this before.
Statistically no, it’s not very dangerous as far as big cities go. Its homicide rate is ranked 30-something in the USA. Pretty much every city has “bad areas”, though.
What is it like in Chicago? It’s really THAT bad?
