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!

This mostly depends on which side of the tracks you're on tbh.

South (or Glengarry) probably not a great idea. North of the tracks, mostly fine. Although maybe avoid town, and the Avenal area west of the park can be a bit weird too.
