CLEVELAND, Ohio - Despite all the yellow tape and cop cars scattered across local news coverage (and admittedly on our website), Cleveland is not the most dangerous place in the world.

In fact, it's not even the most dangerous place in the state of Ohio, according to a recent list. That honor goes to Lucas County, which houses Ohio cities like Toledo, Waterville and Sylvania.

Housing market website FindTheHome.com has ranked "The Most Dangerous Places in America" based on a 2014 FBI Uniform Crime Report, detailing areas with the highest violent crime rates.

According to the report, Lucas County, which has a population of nearly 440,000, reported 3,222 violent crimes in 2014. That amounts to 735 violent crimes per 100,000 people.

In case you're wondering, that's not even close to making Lucas County one of the most dangerous places in the United States as a whole based on the criteria. The top five counties were (in reverse order): Washington County, D.C., Shelby County, Tenn., Baltimore City, Alexander County, Ill., and St. Louis City.
