Miami presents an amazing vibe and is ideal for young people. Tampa, on the other hand, is a family-friendly city. The two cities are waterfront locations. They are both tropical, have solid Hispanic influences, and have a lot of things in common. But, when it comes to the cost of living, Miami is much more expensive than Tampa. But you know what they say; you only get what you pay for. Miami is a vibrant city. It is a cosmopolitan area. It is globally-oriented. It is a fast-paced and dense location.

But they are not really rude as some people would put it. In Tampa, the people are more pleasant. It actually has a lot of global flairs. This, while the city maintains its American identity. It is also a city that is constantly on the rise. What we like about Tampa is its neighborhoods. In all the cities that we know, it has one of the nicest. Some examples of these are South Tampa and Hyde Park. SoHo is also something worth mentioning. The same is true for Palma Ceia and Bayshore Beautiful. All of these neighborhoods are amazing.

It would also depend on which vibe suits your lifestyle. If you are raising a family, you can move to Tampa. It is the better option to raise a family. But if you are young, single, and ready to mingle, you can go to Miami.

If you are wondering about which of the two is safer, wonder no more. The answer would be very obvious. Tampa is actually considered by many to be one of the safest in Florida. In fact, it is one of the 20 safest in the state. But what about Miami? Miami is actually on the 80th spot when it comes to the safest in Florida. This already says much about which one is safer. In this aspect, both cities have problems with crimes involving a break-in at home. Both actually have high incident rates. But when looking at the numbers, Tampa is a bit lower than Miami. Tampa has 61.99 while Miami sits at 64.16. Property crimes which include vandalism and theft, are also higher in Miami. The same is true when it comes to corruption and bribery. When you compare the numbers of both cities, the difference is significant. Vandalism and theft are at 64.55 in Miami. In Tampa, it is only at 55.80. When it comes to problems involving corruption and bribery, the story is no different. Tampa is set at 41.43 points. Miami, on the other hand, is at 62.12. All others are already at an acceptable level. This includes the rate by which crime increases over time. Despite the numbers being at acceptable levels, Miami’s is still higher by a few points. In this aspect, the rate of increase in crimes is at 59.12 in Miami. In Tampa, it is only at 54.93. These are both acceptable levels. But as you can again see, Miami has more crimes than Tampa. If there is something low in both cities, it is through one type of offense. And that is being brutally attacked because of race or skin color. Both cities have lower numbers. If we look at the numbers, there is actually nothing much to worry about. No matter the city you choose, both are safe. The other, however, Tampa is safer than the other.
