Mark Graves

We ranked Oregon's most crime-ridden cities according to data collected from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program in 2014 and 2015 . The list includes cities with 10,000 people or more in Oregon. Each city is rated using a "crime score" created by adding 20 percent of the property crimes per 100,000 residents and 80 percent of the violent crimes per 100,000 residents. Violent crime was given greater weight due to it being a greater public concern.



Note: These rankings are based on the percentages of crime compared to population, but that can skew numbers from year to year for smaller cities, where even a small jump in crime can make percentages jump more than in cities with larger populations.
