Fear not fair citizens, afraid of the murderers and those that complain of their riches being taken while slaying beasts in the field, there is an alternative! With the exception of some pesky traps easily remedied with some heals and cures there is nothing to fear while ‘farming gold’ under the protection of guards. The results below represent gold only and do not account for other items acquired that could be sold to shop vendors (armor, weapons, clothes, furniture, etc.) or individuals in the world (semi rares, etc.).
Total gold acquired was 8,660gp with the most profitable cities being Vesper (1,807gp), Britain (1,743gp) and Jhelom (691gp). I did not reference a city below if it did not yield any gold.
Britain – 1743gp

Cove – 143gp

Jhelom – 691gp

Minoc – 547gp

Moonglow – 684gp

Nujel’m – 523gp

Ocllo – 689gp

Papua – 185gp

Serpent’s Hold – 255gp

Skara Brae – 684gp

Trinsic – 556gp

Vesper – 1807gp

Wind - 98

Yew - 55

…but roaming the streets can be a tiresome drag and the mind is dangerous when bored. As I roamed the shops and compromised lock after lock after lock, I grew anxious. It seemed each city had a similar story - streets and shops riddled with squatters that ignore the vendors, patrons and travelers of this land. The field is alive and risk is its lifeblood while the cities are dead. I recalled a man I had met in my previous travels, I refer to him as Una, and he warned me of the autonomy of the city’s inhabitants that made them zombie-like and stole their lives. I called on Una and told him that I witnessed the plague he previously warned me of, he was concerned to say the least…

With this, I conclude the experiment and based on the findings it is indeed possible to harvest decent amounts of gold within the protection of the cities’ borders - free from those mean ol' murderers.
