We all have a city in our state we’re told to stay away from, and for a good reason. Most of them have an extremely high crime rate. These statistics are recorded by the police and reported back to the FBI so they can compile a list of dangerous places in the states. Occasionally, the FBI will release these numbers, giving us the chance to get an in-depth look at our state.

We were lucky enough to get our hands on the 2017 statistics and dig through all those numbers. It turns out that several states have a crime issue. Take a look through our report to find out the most dangerous city in your state. Were you surprised, or was it something you knew before clicking in?

All information is compiled from the FBI website and U.S. Census reports. Information in this list dates back to 2017, although local news reports were used to find more recent numbers.
