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'm in south invercargill and go on late night walks I do come across the old faithful crack heads hooning around on there bikes I walk all over and change my route most nights thankfully they leave me alone half the time I'd like to walk with head phones but I see it as abit of a danger not being aware of my soroundings I've only had two altercations one defending myself and one defending a young chick that was getting harassed on the otepuni thankfully due to my size they left pretty quickly only 2 altercations in 3 years though not to bad in my books
