Most Dangerous Cities by State 2024

  • Table 1 below displays the most dangerous city in each state. Table 2 lists the 100 most dangerous cities across the entire US.
  • Numbering reflects the total order, with 1 being the most dangerous city surveyed and 263 the least dangerous.
  • Crime rates shown are rates per 100,000 residents.
  • Data is sourced from a study of 263 US cities with populations greater than 100,000. Each city was ranked in four categories: Violent Crime Rate, Property Crime Rate, Total Cost of Crime, and Crime Cost per Capita. These values were then compiled to form a single ranked order of cities, from safest to most dangerous.
