Is Altus OK a place with a lot of crime?

Question

Earlier I asked a question on my research for the town of Altus, OK, and I received a lot of answers saying that it is an "armpit of the country" or the only good thing about it is leaving the city!! Someone else said that criminals and "gangbangers" are there-- what do you think? Who can tell me more about the people there and businesses in the area? Is it kind of scummy like people say?

Answer 1

I've been through Altus before - nothing wrong with it
