We ranked Oregon's cities with the least amount of crime 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.

Statistics from several major cities (including Portland) in both years were unavailable. In 2015, this was largely

due to a

$12.6 million computer system

in Oregon

that failed to handle record keeping for local law enforcement. We ranked cities according to the 2014 dataset, which was the most complete.

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.
