How the cities were chosen
By using the FBI Crime Report statistics from 2014, cities with more than 5,000 residents and those who successfully completed a crime report were evaluated by SafeWise.
After evaluating the number of reported violent crimes and property crimes in each city, the likelihood of these crimes occurring out of 1,000 people were factored in.
