Not really, there's always non-metahuman criminals looking to score regardless of the city. The 90s Flash series was almost completely dealing with non-metahumans that Barry had trouble with too.

This isn't the 90s Flash show. Most of the villains of the week Oliver goes up against are a breeze for Barry, shown when he helped out in "Brave and the Bold" and kept clearing whole rooms of thugs before Oliver even walked through the door.

The only non-metas to give Barry trouble are the Rogues and Trickster, with the former having hightech weapons, while the latter was a criminal genius who kept finding ways to disable Flash.
