San Francisco Risk Overview
California has a higher percentage of “unsheltered”—people living outside, in tent encampments, or cars—than other states. San Francisco’s homelessness crisis is a multifaceted issue that has garnered significant attention in recent years. As of January 2024, the city reported 8,323 individuals experiencing homelessness, marking a 7% increase from the 2022 count. The intersection of Turk and Taylor streets, in the Tenderloin, is particularly dense with people who live on the street. Be prepared to encounter beggars and transients, many of them struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues.
Nonviolent crime poses a MEDIUM threat to foreign nationals and locals and is primarily concentrated in urban areas. Thieves typically target purses, bags, wallets, smartphones, and other electronic devices. These opportunistic crimes can occur anywhere, but especially in areas frequented by travelers, including at major tourist attractions, on public transportation, and near transportation hubs due to the high ratio of travelers who are generally unfamiliar with the area. Foreign nationals and locals are not typically targeted by criminals due to their perceived wealth; instances are often random. Crimes against foreign nationals and locals are more likely to escalate late at night, or if the victim resists. Criminals often act alone, though some operate in pairs or groups.
Though the overall threat of violent crime in the US is considered LOW, some cities experience a high rate of crime incidents. Violent crimes, including homicide, rape, and assault, are usually linked to organized crime or familial violence, and typically pose the greatest threat in low-income areas of major cities. Criminals in the US sometimes use force if a victim resists; do not resist.
Earthquakes
San Francisco’s location along the San Andreas Fault, along The Pacific Ring of Fire, makes it particularly susceptible to seismic activity. The city has experienced several significant earthquakes, the most recent being in 1989. Occurring on October 17, 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake had a magnitude of 6.9. Centered near Santa Cruz, it caused significant damage in the San Francisco Bay Area, including the collapse of a section of the Bay Bridge and the Cypress Street Viaduct. The disaster resulted in 63 fatalities and thousands of injuries.
Before this, on April 18, 1906, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck San Francisco, causing widespread devastation. The quake and subsequent fires destroyed over 80% of the city and resulted in more than 3,000 deaths. This disaster remains one of the deadliest earthquakes in U.S. history.
The San Andreas Fault and the Hayward-Rodgers Creek fault system are the primary sources of seismic risk in the region. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates a 31% probability of a significant earthquake occurring on the Hayward-Rodgers Creek fault system and a 21% probability on the San Andreas Fault within the next 30 years.
