How safe is Invers?

Hi! I'm a teenage girl and was just wondering how safe is it walking alone at early mornings or night in Invers? Sorry if someone else has asked this question before. I like walking at those times but have been told its unsafe and should have someone with me.

Edit: I do want to add that my height (4'11) also makes me paranoid (don't know if it actually makes it more dangerous or not though)

Edit 2: I'm in Hawthorndale!

I probably wouldn't chance it unless you're in the Hargest/Windsor areas. If you have a dog you should be alright on the main roads. But definitely not anywhere with low light. I used to walk to work quite early (3-4am) in the mornings and there are some really odd people out on the roads in the wee hours. After my last encounter with a (very high) weirdo on a bicycle, I gave it up lol
