DENVER (KDVR) — Each year, U.S. News and World Report releases a report ranking each state on several factors. In the most recent report, Colorado made a top 10 list — for most dangerous states.
On Thursday, U.S. News and World Report released the “10 Most Dangerous States in America” list. Each of the 50 states was judged on violent crimes and property crime rates.
Colorado was recognized as the third most dangerous state, largely in part because of its property crime rate.
The report pulled violent and property crime numbers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crime Data Explorer. It is important to note that the data only runs through 2022, so the numbers are from that year.
Per the report, Colorado has a violent crime rate of 492 per 100,000 people. That number appears to be about average among other states that made the top 10 list.

...and Arkansas because of Little Rock and Crime Bluff...
That’s probably part of it, but not as bad as Memphis. And Nashvegas has to keep the downtown entertainment district around Ryman, the CMHOF, and the like safe for tourists. Memphis doesn’t give a damn about them, is my take.
A chemical engineer friend of mine from college went to Japan on business. While he impressed his hosts by wanting to see the sights that were uniquely Japanese (e.g. Mount Fuji), he was not always the most proper in his table manners for situation.
A geisha was provided for meals, and he mortified his boss when he was taken with her, and spent the entire meal describing all of the ways you can get killed in Durango, Colorado, where he was raised.
When he discussed the possibility of one day taking a Japanese wife, his host calmly suggested that for this to work, one must take “harmony into consideration”.
My friend remains single. He has a phenomenal movie collection.
I saw the headline and figured a heckavalotta people must be falling off cliffs and into canyons.
I’d be mor interested to see what are the most dangerous counties or voting districts in the US are...then look at whether they are blue or red.
The state by themselves are somewhat misleading.
Helena/West-Helena ain’t helping much either.

Most Dangerous Cities in the United States 2024
Violent crime suggests that a person or persons behave in a manner that threatens, attempts, or actually inflicts physical harm on another person or property. Violent crime includes both crimes where the violent act is the objective and crimes where violence is the means to an end. The seriousness of the crime is altered by whether or not a weapon was used, the severity of injuries to the victim(s), and whether or not the perpetrator has a criminal record. Violent crimes include, but are not limited to, sexual assault, manslaughter, homicide, airplane hijacking, terrorism, rape, shootings, and kidnapping.
The violent crime rate in the United States is about 369 incidents per 100,000 people in 2018. This is the lowest it has been in more than 30 years; however, violent crime is still widespread. Violent crime is not evenly distributed throughout the country and is typically more common in urban areas. Specifically, some cities are more dangerous than others.
To determine which cities in the United States the most dangerous, 24/7 Wall Street looked at data from the FBI’s 2018 Uniform Crime Report, including each city’s murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Only cities with populations of 100,000 people or more were evaluated. The poverty rate and unemployment rate were also evaluated for each city, as these economic factors often correlate with crime rates. The 50 most dangerous cities in the United States were determined from this data.
Based on this information, the ten most dangerous cities in the United States are:
Detroit, MI
Memphis, TN
Birmingham, AL
Baltimore, MD
St. Louis, MO
Kansas City, MO
Cleveland, OH
Little Rock, AR
Milwaukee, WI
Stockton, CA
The most dangerous city in the United States is Detroit, Michigan. Detroit has a violent crime rate of 2,007.8 incidents per 100,000 people with a total of 261 homicides in 2018. Detroit is the only midsize or large city in the United States with a violent crime rate of over 2,000. With a population of less than 700,000 people today, Detroit reported about 13,500 violent crimes in 2018 – a rate higher than cities with double the population. Detroit’s scarce economic opportunities have led to an annual unemployment rate of 9.0% and 37.9% of residents living below the poverty line.
Even with a population of about 8.5 million people, New York City is not even in the 50 most dangerous cities in the United States. New York City has 295 homicides in 2018, which is less than Philadelphia’s 351 despite having a population five times the size of Philadelphia. Philadelphia takes the number 40 spot on the most dangerous cities list. Chicago had the highest number of homicides in 2018 with 563; almost double that of New York, which has triple the population as Chicago.
A city with a high violent crime rate does not indicate that the entire city is unsafe. Within each city, violence is hyper-local, meaning that violence is usually more common in specific neighborhoods or “block-by-block.”
The most dangerous city in the United States usually changes from year to year. The data that is taken into consideration when determining which state is the most dangerous revolves around two aspects of a city.
The first concept that researchers tend to look at is the violent crime rate of a given area. The second detail that is looked at is how likely it is that a random passerby will be a victim of some type of crime. The most recent city to be named the most dangerous in 2019 is Bessemer, which is in the state of Alabama.
Some of the most dangerous parts of the world cannot even be considered in this list of top one hundred most dangerous US cities because, due to their population sizes, they cannot be classified as cities. So, just because a location is not listed in the queue of most dangerous United States cities does not make it safe necessarily. You should always look into the area that you plan to visit. On that note, here is a list of the top one hundred most dangerous cities in the United States as of 2019...

Lol...thanks for the run down.
And Im guessing of the comprehensive list you provided...less than 5% (if any) are Red.
With a population of 26K, Bessemer only needs to lock up 6-12 criminals and it would be off the list.
I loved Fort Collins.
You are correct that Denver is now really bad.
No doubt. The citizens are in a higher danger of being arrested or shot by the FBI!
It’s all those migrants from Birmingham causing all the ruckus!...................
Oregon? Being a former resident the most violent crime came from a single neighborhood in Southeast Portland. The rest were usually drug addicts stealing stuff.
The numbers these rankings are based upon are questionable because Soros DAs like Bragg, Gascon, Krasner, et. al. reduce or dismiss serious charges against a large cast of characters in the name of equity.
It was a nice, mellow place back in the early 70s.
Colorado has obviously been Kaliforniaized as have Oregon and Washington. Arizona and Nevada are on the cusp.
