About this ranking

Cities are ranked by the FBI's reported violent crime rate per 100,000 residents for the most recent fully-reported year (see individual city pages for the year shown). The list is restricted to cities with population ≥ 10,000 that report to the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer. Refreshed every six months.
