Flint is not close to being worst in the mid-sized. I'm shocked.

last I heard, Dallas, TX was #1 for murder.

 

[StageLeft]

Not listed.

 

[Balt]

New Orleans isn't listed?

 

[Lifer]

nassau county NY
probably because taxes are so high, criminals can't afford to live here.

 

[tec699]

Glad to see NJ doing well.

These numbers seem to be based on kind of a weird matrix for overall crime, and I don't think they are representative of realistic dangerousness. Hard to tell, though.

Hey hey, Baltimore's not even listed! Maybe it just seems worse since I live here...

Worst Small Cities for Crime
1. Topeka, KS
Topeka has the highest rate of property crime among cities with fewer than 200,000 residents. The rates of larceny and robbery are especially high.

Nice.

Best #2. Middlesex-Somerset-Hunterdon, NJ

Guess I'm pretty safe

woot! TOPEKA!

Actually, from what I've heard it is because we report ALL crimes, whereas many cities list only violent crimes and major thefts....

Proof that the death penalty is not working as a deterrent.

Its cause we are ghetto.

I'm sorry, but i'm going to move out of this hole as soon as I can. Larryville here I come

Checked my hometown on the list (Auburn, Maine) we only had three days over 90 last year.
Plus we had 150 days of temps below freezing...the crime rate is pretty damn low.

I didnt realize the population here is 98% white.
