Charleston has good areas where crime is low and it has some areas where the crime statistics put it in the high risk category. Check with the hotel staff to determine if there are some areas you should avoid. In general, Charleston ranks just above average for crime risk.
There are 115 (that's right one hundred and fifteen) sex offenders registered in the metro-Charleston area. You could check out the website below if you are bringing children to the area or are a woman traveling alone.
When in Charleston, you should practice security procedures like keeping car doors locked and putting valuables out of sight in the trunk of the locked car or in the motel safebox. Do not wander into unfamiliar areas of town alone late at night. Be safe by being smart and alert.
