The Most Dangerous Cities in the US

Last year, St. Louis, Missouri was named the most dangerous city in America. This year it was once again named the most dangerous city in the US, with the highest per-capita crime cost on the list—$8,457.

“St. Louis ranks high above the national average in both the cost of violent crimes and property-related crimes locally,” says Milnes. “On the travel side of things, while there are no 100% certain ways of avoiding danger, there are certainly areas that are safer than others. From what we’ve seen from local experts, there are certain areas in the north part of the city that are much more problematic than others.”

Coming in second on the list of the most dangerous cities in America was Mobile, Alabama, followed by Birmingham, Alabama. “Mobile has been consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous cities in the country. The property crime rate and violent crime rate there is the highest in the country, only ranking below St. Louis for most dangerous (due to Mobile having less high-cost crimes like murder),” says Milnes. “Mobile and Birmingham both have higher than average crime rates and relatively lower standards of living.”

In its report, MoneyGeek also looked at mass shootings. “Mass shootings are a particular scourge on American life,” says Gordon. “The emotional impact of mass shootings is incalculable, traumatizing families and entire communities.”

Mass shootings also have an economic impact. MoneyGeek calculated the total cost of mass shootings in 2021 to be $8 billion—which is a 33% increase in costs over 2020. According to MoneyGeek’s report, Boulder, Colorado was the worst city in the US for mass shootings, followed by San Jose, California and Indianapolis, Indiana.

The biggest surprise in the report? The lack of big cities on the lists of dangerous places, says Milnes. “The surprises are that from everything you might hear about larger cities on the coasts being quite dangerous, cities like New York and Boston are not as dangerous as their reputations would make you think,” he says.

Jackson, MS is the defacto #1 shithole in the US.

There’s no chance that is accurate.

Let’s see I have lived her in the safest part of Town (Springhill), for about 20 years.

My wife was almost a victim of a car jacking, and armed robbery, I was almost victim of gang carjacking, (saw little kids in car and backed off)I have had cars broken into and robbed about 20 times, all the neighbors have been robbed multiple times, had car hit n runs 3 times so far, had to hire private security for about 6 months.

My neighbor saw a murder in line at Taco Bell, doctor down the street got shot at 9 am in mornin, when he caught someone breaking into his car, another teenager came home from school to catch a bunch of thugs breaking into his house and they chased him down the Main Street shooting at him.

So I would say pretty ducking dangerous.
