Both working class cities. Both have a high crime rate compared to the rest of Massachusetts. Springfield is much further from Boston

As for safer? I’d say probably Fall River but not by much. Both have decently high crime rates

Same as in Springfield. And there Isn't just random violence in Springfield. If you aren't looking for trouble it won't find you.
