  • The Most Dangerous CITIES in Each State. (Big Cities)
    Today, we look at the most dangerous big cities in each state.
    The United States has about 300 cities considered "Big Cities." Each state has at least 1. We are going to show you which one you should avoid in each state. A handful of smaller cities are probably more dangerous, but that is for another video.

    Briggs, you were right on about Memphis. I spent a year in Hawaii with family because of Covid. The 6 months that I have been back, I now have 6 holes in my convertible top that I have taped, encountered a maan trying to steal gas from my car at the grocery during the day, and 3 men followed me home from Walmart with the excuse that I had left my mobile phine there. I hadn't not. Luckily, my neighbor was close by and called the police. That's just me. No telling how many others are in danger here. Fortunately, my apartment lease is up in 6 more months and I am out of hear. Hopefully, I will last that long.

      The year-on-year crime numbers for both violent crime and property crime went down last year for Minneapolis, but they are still higher than before the pandemic. I suspect that Minneapolis will suffer from the fact that there really aren't any geographical features confining the metro area (it spreads out in every direction). Once people migrate outside the inner ring, they may not want to move back. Another factor that doesn't help is the cost of housing. One might think that the price of a home in Minneapolis would have come down after the pandemic and the George Floyd riots, but the prices are still sky-high. The city has made some progress on affordable housing, but the metro area still has a major shortage of housing.

      What is very dangerous about Minnesota is you are expecting the crime to be high in St. Paul and Minneapolis.

    Briggs, as you know we agree on much your findings and statistics, and had to agree totally on your listing of Salt Lake City, Utah. When I took a job out there in summer 1993, the place was already kooky as well as their residents. Though I am not LDS or planning on converting to it, the area of East Salt Lake seemed more normal and stable, like the south Jordan part of town. Now get into areas like Magna, West Valley City, and Taylorsville...these places ARE (or WERE) weird. Even Kearns was too! If marijuana were legal, this whole area would be full of stoned millionaires...but this is how I remembered it...and very happy you mentioned the area in and around SLC. THANK YOU, Briggs!!

    I lived in Davenport, IA from 2015-2019. Actually, I was born and raised in the Quad Cities area, to which Davenport is part of… I was living in the Phoenix metro area before moving to Davenport. I was shocked as to how many shootings that occurred there. The news reports indicated that the majority of these shootings were gang and drug related, with gangs coming in from Chicago. The other problem that Davenport has is from teens stealing cars. You would be amazed at how many people leave their keys in unlocked cars. We returned to the Phoenix area, not because of the crime…

    Yes, SLC has crime. You usually have to go out of your way to find trouble. I remember seeing stats for the State in March and seeing the murder figures for the last year and thinking that Tacoma already surpassed them all. It has some scummy sections, mostly by the tracks, but I've never felt uncomfortable walking around---
    ---and you just mentioned Tacoma---
    --anyway, I can walk around most of SLC and the Salt Lake Valley and not feel uncomfortable. I live in Utah Valley, so walking everywhere in the summer is a must.

At that point, Wisconsin won't have enough money to support itself and maintain its own infrastructure and economy.

Where Memphis, your top dog has a rate of 50/sq mi. I found Chicago’s rate is 884 (don’t know if that’s right) so with a population of 2.697 million and square miles of 228 their rate is 105/sq mi.

It is actually a really nice & enjoyable city, despite a couple areas that experience more crime & it's especially awesome when you include the entire metro area. Southern hospitality is alive & well there. You will be treated very well no matter where you visit. Don't take my word for it though. Find out for yourself & come visit, or simply do more research before you start calling it a "nightmare city." When you go by statistics alone, you don't really get the truth. I get the fact that this video is simply about the statistics & I'm not arguing that at all. The terminology used to describe the city is why I am leaving this comment. There are a lot of factors why Birmingham (city) has a higher violent crime rate. Do some research. It helps to understand the reason behind the statistics before you start completely trashing certain cities.
