Higher recorded violent-crime-rate rows

Citywide rates can hide large neighborhood differences and do not explain causes. Reporting completeness and local definitions can differ.

How to interpret the fields

Violent-crime rate

Recorded incidents divided by population and scaled per 100,000. It is sensitive to reporting, definitions and observation period.

Property-crime rate

A separate recorded field. Missing values are shown as unavailable rather than zero.

City boundaries

A city row is not a metro, county, neighborhood or personal route. Geography changes comparisons.

Safety decisions

Also consider recent local reports, neighborhood context, exposure patterns, transportation, emergency access and your own circumstances.

Data boundaries

Ocity database fields may reflect different source years and are not presented here as one synchronized FBI release. This page does not assert a national average, a safest city/state, causal explanations or future safety. Check current local and official sources before making a relocation decision.
