I have to go to San Digeo for 8 months.
It will be my first time in America and I don't know anything about the city.
Where are the "safe" places, (low crime, high income citizens).

Depends on your interests and where you will be working or going to school, but here are some suggestions:
If you are really really high income:
La Jolla, Del Mar, Point Loma, Coronado, Solana Beach and Cardiff, which are all beach areas...
Rancho Santa Fe, Bonita, for a more low density locale (think property big enough for horses)...
If by "high income citizens" you mean upper class but not wealthy, there are many communities which fit that bill. I'd have suggested the Poway-Rancho Bernardo-Rancho Penasquitos area which is inland, north of the city of San Diego, except that because a number of homes in that area were burned in recent wildfires, the rents in the area have skyrocketed. These areas are better if you are raising a family; less attractive for singles as they are primarily best for those looking for good schools.
North coast communities of Encinitas and Carlsbad are nice unless you have to travel to downtown San Diego area frequently, if so, the traffic is a negative.
There are some nice middle class communities throughout San Diego county but it would take too much space here to delineate safer versus unsafe areas. You might want to use the local crime tracking computer program to get more detailed information on what's safe:

If you are a younger person (below 25) then most people I know, including myself, started out in an apartment in Pacific Beach. It's beautiful, fun, centrally located, and has lots of cool stuff to do.
If you are a little more mellow and not into the beach party scene then I would suggest anywhere in the San Diego city limits. Most places are safe except City Heights and Barrio Logan.
San Diego has someplace for everyone. It's a diversified city. You'll get here and find your perfect little area. Good luck.

If you have to go to downtown area, Little Italy is nice, Mission Hills, stay in a three block vicinity of 5th Avenue around Horton Plaza. It may be more expensive, but you'll be safer there.
Coastal areas: Carlsbad, Cardiff, Del Mar, La Jolla, UTC are good.
Mission Beach and Pacific Beach areas are littered with college kids, stay away from there if you don't like loud parties.

We live in Point Loma and love it. Very safe area. Sometimes traffic can be a pain but I think it is everywhere. I think the further inland you go the rougher it gets. And the nice area's north of here such as Rancho Burnardo well we all saw alot of that burn so thats something to think about.

Most areas are pretty safe. Cities like LaJolla, Leucadia, Carlsbad, Mission Bay or even Pacific Beach are very safe.

Rancho Bernardo and Penasquitos are very nice and some parts have gated communities and alot of high income people.
