ial Staff on August 13, 2013

Heading into 2013, the list of the 10 m=
ost dangerous cities in the US per capita didn=92t include many of America=
=92s largest cities. The most dangerous major American cities were Atlanta =
(26th), Baltimore (27th), Washington, DC (46th), Philadelphia (50th), Newar=
k (51th), while New York City didn=92t even make the top 100 most dangerous=
list. Instead, the 10 top most dangerous American cities were the decaying=
manufacturing hubs and relatively smaller cities with histories of racial =
tension and poverty.


The cities that made the top 10 were all located on the East Coast and =
the Mid-west, with 4 of the top 10 located in Michigan. The most dangerous =
city from the west coast was Oakland, California, which ranked Number 13 =
=96 not quite high enough to make the cut for the final top 10 list.


Out of the list of the top 100 most dangerous cities in America, no cit=
ies from Oregon, Montana, Washington, Idaho, or Alaska made it onto the lis=
t.

Based on FBI data of the number of violent crimes in each US cit=

ed with the national average of 241 per 100,000. Inkster residents have a 1=
in 55 chance of being victim of a violent crime.
