Another day, another ranking on the Internet.

In a recently published ranking of worst cities in each state in USA Today, St. Paul came out on the bottom for the North Star State. The listing flies in the face of the slogan on the city’s website, which proclaims St. Paul as “The Most Livable City in America.” And it comes just as U.S. News & World Report ranked Minnesota the third-best state in the country.

The listing — put together by 24/7 Wall St., an online financial news company — pointed to St. Paul’s crime rate as a major problem.

“Crime, especially violent crime like robbery and homicide, can greatly detract from quality of life in any city. In St. Paul, there were 651 violent crimes for every 100,000 people, more than double the violent crime rate of 238 incidents per 100,000 people across Minnesota as a whole,” the listing for St. Paul read.

In comparison, Minneapolis’ violent crime rate was higher than St. Paul’s at 1,101 per 100,000 people in 2017, according to FBI statistics. Duluth had 323 violent crimes reported per 100,000 residents in 2017. The national violent crime rate in 2017 was 383 per 100,000 people.

The 24/7 Wall Street ranking relied on 2017 numbers, which don’t accurately portray St. Paul’s current housing market.

It listed St. Paul’s median home value at $187,400 for that year. While that might have been accurate in 2017, Zillow, an online real estate database, lists St. Paul’s median home value for 2019 at $221,000 — with a jump of 6.9 percent from the previous year.

As most homebuyers can attest, St. Paul’s housing market is heating up.

The ranking also noted that 20.4 percent of St. Paul’s population lives below the poverty line — nearly double the 10.5 percent state poverty rate. The Census Bureau listed the national poverty rate at 12.3 percent.

As for Minnesota’s neighboring states, the worst cities were ranked as Beloit, Wis.; Keokuk, Iowa; Grand Forks, N.D.; and Box Elder, S.D.
