Surprised it's not Moreno Valley.San Bernandino being the most dangerous place in Southern California makes so much sense.
That whole stretch down the 215 gets bad in general. Menifee has become substantially better over the last decade, but it's all ugly af.
well Hartford, CT is a drug ridden shithole. I was born there and live in the the town of Bloomfield,CT just north of Hartford.Low key hilarious that NYC and NJ is off the list, but CT is on it twice.
I once saw an ice cream man get stabbed and robbed while I lived there.San Bernandino being the most dangerous place in Southern California makes so much sense.
It’s better where wypipo who work at Quicken go.Detroit represent... wait a minute.
I'm actually surprised Detroit is still ranked at #1. Seemed to have gotten much better in the past few years I've visited back home.
They only included cities with a population over 100,000, so Camden isn't on there because they don't have enough people. Newark would be a different story.Camden and Newark finally off the list? Time for NJ to celebrate
Everyone moved to San Bernardino.Happy to not see San Diego on there. lol
I'm a bit surprised to not see LA on there.
Eh, it still sucks when you turn the news on the morning and hear the daily "murder in Eastside/west detroit " when waiting for the damn weather. Detroit is depressing to hear about and I live in Clinton Township (used to live in warren) But detroit is getting better, just went to an anime con at the TCF center(aka Cobo hall)Detroit represent... wait a minute.

North Chuck represent!!
BingoIt’s better where wypipo who work at Quicken go.
Not better where the rest of the city lives.
It's probably you. Do you have a list without uemployment rates to prove what you're trying to say.Is it me, but or a lot of these “lists” normally are excuses to pile on majority black cities? I would like to see this list if they took out the unemployment rates.
No unfortunately. I’m not an statistician.It's probably you. Do you have a list without uemployment rates to prove what you're trying to say.
I've lived in Miami for 1.5 years now and I have seen no violent crime and I work in one of the lower-income areas. I see random crazy stories from news sources, but they seem to be outliers rather than the norm (and mostly in the burbs). South Beach, Brickell, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, (parts of) Downtown, and even Wynwood now all feel pretty safe even if there are some random homeless camps.I'm a Miami native and I'm shocked West Palm Beach is on the list and Miami isn't. I guess we've reduced our crime levels?
I lived in Turlock for about a decade before moving out awhile ago and yeah, you really gain an appreciation for what a shithole that whole area is after experiencing something better.I live in Modesto and visit Stockton regularly... I don't see them as particularity dangerous. Maybe I'm just use to the environment.
Wow. Atlanta has moved up (as in improved) a lot since I grew up there. Used to be it and New Orleans competed year after year for top spot (for that matter looks like New Orleans improved to but it’s still on the list).Rankings:
America’s Most Dangerous Cities
Source: ljubaphoto / Getty ImagesThere were 369 violent crimes committed in 2018 for every 100,000 Americans, nearly the lowest violent crime rate in the United States in more than three decades. In an interview with 24/7 Wall St., John Roman, a senior fellow with NORC at the University of...247wallst.com
I live in Modesto, there’s some really nice pockets and neighborhoodsWow, I never thought my old home town Modesto would be on there. I know Stockton is bad, but Modesto? I’m surprised Fresno or Bakersfield never made the list.
Man, SB west to Fontana above the 10 is all sketch. I'm glad i moved away from that area, haha.That whole stretch down the 215 gets bad in general. Menifee has become substantially better over the last decade, but it's all ugly af.
What makes you think that?You would think that cities like LA, NYC/Manhattan & Miami would also be on there.
They're just as dangerous as the other 50 cities listed.
Source?
They're big cities. And most big cities always happen to be big on crime & violence.
Austin is super safe, so I don't think that's always the case.They're big cities. And most big cities always happen to be big on crime & violence.
That is very true, Detroit is now out of debt as well which brings some improvements to the crime statistics. Blight removal of the abandoned properties may yield improvements in the crime rate. Though it is rather systemic, especially if the same mistakes are repeated.Along with a pretty dramatic population decline, probably keeps that per capita rate high.
Poverty itself is a complicated issue it's not the sole cause of crime or even a direct on but can play a role in it. Growing Up Poor: Examining the Link Between Persistent Childhood Poverty and Delinquency, explains it in far greater detail. As for Anchorage I couldn't find anything which specifically gives the crime rates there. Here's an article which goes over crime in Alaska based on DPS and FBI reports.What a strange outlier Anchorage is. Look at the poverty rate compared to the rest of the list. What's going on there?
The methodology for this article is as follows:Is it me, but or a lot of these “lists” normally are excuses to pile on majority black cities? I would like to see this list if they took out the unemployment rates.
Unemployment plays a part in the crime rate. Due to documented inequalities in the way the US works when it comes to crime you are going to see the same or similar cities on these lists. Social factors as highlighted below:24/7 Wall Street said:To identify the most dangerous city in each state, 24/7 Wall St. examined the FBI’s 2017 Uniform Crime Report, extracting violent crime data for all U.S. cities with populations of 20,000 or more. We examined each state’s figures for murder, nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, offenses that comprise the violent crime category. We also reviewed FBI figures for burglaries, larceny, motor vehicle thefts, and arson, all classified as property crimes. Annual unemployment rates for each city and state came from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures for 2018. Data on poverty rates, median household income, and educational attainment rates came from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates for 2013-2017.
This paper Social Anatomy of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Violence by Sampson et al is based on Chicago but the points still apply to the rest of the US.The gap between Whites and Blacks in levels of violence has animated a prolonged and controversial debate in public health and the social sciences. Our study reveals that over 60% of this gap is explained by immigration status, marriage, length of residence, verbal/reading ability, impulsivity, and neighborhood context. If we focus on odds ratios rather than raw coefficients, 70% of the gap is explained. Of all factors, neighborhood context was the most important source of the gap reduction and constitutional differences the least important.
That's where I live lol
There's nothing else to do in Toledo or Akron, so people just commit crimes.
