The Most Dangerous City in Every Single State. It's Very Alarming.

- Is where you live safe? Cause for many of us, it’s not safe. Sure, crime had gone down a lot since a peak in the mid 1990s, but a recent spike last summer has a lot of police agencies scrambling for a solution. If you live in a big city or near one, chances are you are pretty close to a danger hotspot. And even if you know which parts of town to stay away from, the crap can sneak up on you at any time.
Today, we’re going to visit the most dangerous place in every single state. Some of these will be no surprise to anyone - they are major cities that have struggled with crime for a long time now. Some WILL be surprising - and a lot of these places you may not have even heard of before.
But if you LIVE in or near one of these danger zones, you’ll be able to identify. Cause no matter how much you want to skew numbers or say where you live is great, you can’t argue with statistics. And some of these statistics are outright alarming.
Well, we have a lot of ground to cover, since we have to go to each and every state. So we should probably get going. We can’t stay in one place too long, because, then we’re a target for criminals. Here are the most dangerous cities in every single US state.

South Dakota is safe AF. I left for the day with my door wide open accidently and my neighbor walking by checked by asking me through my Ring doorbell if I was okay. Dude even took my Amazon packages inside doorway and locked the door. Just awesome neighbors.
Aww I love that, nice to know there are still good neighbors in existence.
2 of my neighbors have left me with a key...just in case they lose theirs
Because South Dakota is mostly wh_____
Certain part's of WV the same..
@@pistolpete667 what does being white has to do with living in a nice area? I know a lot of black communities that are amazing. Same with Hispanics and others.

@@mauricesmith7753 Where I live is worse than Birmingham. I live in Louisville and the odds of being the victim of a crime is 1 in 23. Birmingham is 1 in 47
At the end of the day it's sad.
@@mauricesmith7753 I couldn't agree more. This country went to hell in a hand basket when they took God out of the schools and it got even worse when they removed the Pledge of Allegiance. Kids nowadays don't know what loyalty and honor is for those reasons so they do whatever they want whenever they want.
@@mauricesmith7753 I feel sorry for the future of this country(if we even have the U.S.A. in 100 years)
Having lived in Utah since I was 7 others than many years in the Army. Utah is great place overall to raise a family. I am a grandfather of 19 and thank God all my family are normal law abiding assets to their families and communities. My oldest son is also a Marine Veteran. I'm proud of all my kids and grandkids.
Utah is just lovely! We are small town folk from rural Canada, and always say that it’s sort of the only state we feel very safe and comfortable in. You have a beautiful, clean state!
@@plasticstrawz6901 Thanks very much!
Thank you and your family for your service. Army veteran and mom of a Marine.😊
As a military kid, growing up while my dad was serving in West Germany, even as young as 5 years old, the Cold War was still going on. There were hardcore terrorists groups that would bomb 💣 places, kidnap high ranking officials, and incite riots and protests. This made me very vigilant and try to be aware of people and my surroundings. And you can learn a lot just by listening to the atmosphere around you. When the birds aren't whistling, this means something is about to happen.
Very true, I've lived in the country and the city. When the animals run or fly away you should too.
We send hundreds of billions overseas and we can’t even help our own communities.
I here u there. I'am not happy about that.
We already spend billions on welfare programs to help these places out. Money doesn't fix a broken culture
@@thomash.5422 No. So the money should either go to the benefit of them that works for it or not be taken from them in the first place.
@@thomash.5422 you must be a congressman
That is to offset devaluation. It’s not just appeasement
I wonder if anyone's house ever got broke into while they themselves were out breaking into a home?
L.O.L. 😄😁😆😅🤣😂🙃 That's a good question.
That's funny.
Burgle-ception
Lol
Karma
as someone who used to live near mayfield, i can definitely vouch for the fact that crime is rampant. robberies are the worst though. someone once literally stole the entire heat pump out of my aunt's house, and honestly im just very impressed and kind of confused as to how they even managed that
heat pump is the same as air conditioning only in reverse- it has half of the unit outside where thieves take them for metal recycling
Pine Bluff's crime rate is comparable to Little Rock's in Arkansas. Both cities are crime ridden.
I left for 2 days once to go on a mini family vacation. When we came back someone had broken in, robbed us blind and they took all of the copper piping out of the house. They were eventually caught when they tried to sell the copper pipes at a scrap yard. At least they were nice enough to shut the water off first.
Was that in Kansas?
“You can’t argue with statistics”…. This guy apparently doesn’t know any liberals.
I used to live in Glendale Colorado before moving to another suburb of the Denver metro- I remember hearing a couple gun shots, the apartment management was always reporting package thefts, and homeless on the street at night, among other things like a pest problem but would have never thought that was one of the most dangerous cities to live…statistically at least.
Same, I was kinda surprised.
Hell, I woulda thought Commerce City or Pueblo woulda been the worst of CO. , from my personal experience.
& I’ve lived all over the state
@@marcusizayah Pueblo is the most dangerous city in our state, hands down.
Front range in general has a lot more crime than you'd think. Lived in Fort Collins for a few years and had my locked up bike stolen from outside my apartment. A lot of the people I got to know in Colorado had something stolen or had a car broken into.
Pueblo was my initial guess going into this. But Denver metro and a large portion of the front range have seen a big uptick in crime in recent years. Not violent crime necessarily, but theft is big. Cost of living has gotten out of control and the homeless population has exploded as other states have filled up buses to send them to Colorado. Substance abuse and theft have risen from both.
@Tim Not to mention the perpetual potheads who have swarmed into Denver.
Biggest "crime" committed in Las Vegas: when you bring $4,000 worth of collectable comics to Gold and Silver Pawn, and all Rick Harrison will give you for them is $200....
biggest legal scammers, gamestop, and rick harrisons pawn shop
Dumb people let him get away w/it! He's wise.
Maybe it wasn't worth 4000
Dude fucking turned down George Washington’s surviving outfit of course he’d rip you off for a valuable item with such a cheap, under-appreciative price.
Truth
End the drug war. End qualified immunity. End civil asset forfeiture. Increase resources for addiction treatment. Watch the crime rate in all of these places get cut in half.
Yes! And stop rereleasing VIOLENT offenders!!!
if it was so easy they would have done it already
@@aldenweeks3298 a lot of these thing did not exist, the drug war was started to arrest black people and antiwar protestors, civil asset was started to take people's thing during an arrest in like the 70s-80s and continues
@@aldenweeks3298 They have privatized the prison system for profit plus they generate lots of revenue through fines and fees for probation, drug and traffic classes and drug testing. They don't have any interest in killing their money machine.
@@aldenweeks3298 no, they wouldn't. You have no the idea the level 9f power dynamics at play. These things alow them to act with impunity, also gets them so much more funding from the state and fed
I have a friend that used to live in Florida city. I hated visiting him. He lived in a gated community and he told me of an incident where the police found a dead baby in one of the dumpsters of his community. It's a horrible place.
Thanks for the info! Knowing the most dangerous city in each state is crucial for retirement planning. Stay safe and informed!

Nahhh no man just no.. not bad at all
@@travisskyski ?
Wtf does, "a lot of ppl ate on welfare, because they don't work" mean? Do you know anything about "welfare"? Sp because ppl get food stamps they won't work? Or you mean TANF? The T stands for temporary, and fat chance in hell anyone is paying rent on (the New Mexico average) $335 a month. How is food stamps and less than $350 keeping ppl from getting a job?! Do you even think before saying shit that will get right wingers hard? The only that makes them happy inside is the suffering of others.
It took half a sentence to find out that bit of information on new Mexico TANF. Temporary assistance for needy families requires having at least one child as well...$335 is keeping families from looking for a job?!
Quit blaming crime on drugs. Crime is tied to poverty first and foremost. If ppl have money, most won't commit crime. Period.
Two Americans have a much wealth as the bottom 41%. Why don't you mention income inequality even once?!?!1
Wages peaked in this country in 1973!!!
The $4.03-an-hour rate recorded in January 1973 had the same purchasing power that $23.68 would today. We still havnt reached that number yet, and that includes all hourly earners like lawyers, silicon valley, dentists, and engineers. 15% of US employees make less than $10 per hour and there's exactly zero counties that wage will pay the rent for a 1 bedroom apartment. This is the problem. This is the issue. This (and right wingers and their need to see billionaires get more and more and more and...) is whats wrong with America.
You mention laxed gun laws being in correlation with crime which is false. Even if it were the case, maybe we should outlaw murder and robbery?
@@affaaffa2008 you mad bcus he was talking about your home town muahahaha
I live in Las Vegas and I was born and raised here. I can definitely attest to crime on the strip being under reported in numbers and also pretty much black listed from local news as well. You need to go on specific websites/independent journalism to read about the crimes in the hotels.
I often wonder why people go there on vacation. They are all excited I'm just thinking of the whitewater rafting somewhere Hill go climbing somewhere The marijuana trying to get legalized gambling they said okay give it to the schools oh, that never helped it went right back in the casinos to make the Irwin
That's how it works in tourist dependent cities. My city even hides how hot it really is here by using a thermometer placed in a grassy area with afternoon shade...pretty shady if ya ask me.
My @UsArmy truck driver bud(1975)was a blackjack dealer at the 1978 HorseShoe casino.
@@dmreddragon6 Rutland Vermont is from out to the airport which is 7 miles away.
@@dmreddragon6 Hilarious 😂
I really love your videos. I live in Maine in a tiny town with high crime, mostly due to poverty. I was surprised at Houlton being our most dangerous place .lol 😅 thought you'd say Biddeford. Thanks for bringing the world to me cause I hate traveling. 😊😁
I live in Maine, too, and was really surprised at Houlton also!
I am also from Maine (Portland), but live in NH now but I would've thought either Biddeford, Portland, or Bangor and was very surprised Houlton is the most dangerous place in Maine😅
I am from NJ and I was just recently in Atlantic City again after 3 years. It has gotten worse! I never used to get that nervous walking the Boardwalk at night but this time around it had a whole different vibe. I felt like I was getting leered at by every homeless person out there and might of gotten mugged for my money, or worse.
As a Georgia native, who also grew up in College Park, I was not surprised to see it named the most dangerous. Our house was broken into multiple times when I was child, and it did not stop. My brother's car was also broken into multiple times.
i live in georgia but not near college park
I would have said east point but both towns are close to each other
From ATL, that is not an ideal spot.
My car was broken into, and stolen while I lived in college park.
Lol I live in college park
I've lived in Memphis all my life and watching this video it is sad that me hearing 300+ murders for my city and thinking it is normal. Some people have a way better path than others. Everybody be safe and blessed wherever you are!
I feel you on that, born and raised in Memphis and lived here all my life..
I'm from 70yrs worth. Memphis has some the slowest dumbest people I've ever seen who are here today. Memphis pulls in people from Mississippi, Arkansas, and New York. All unqualified and puts them in the best paying jobs. New Yorkers come here and buy very nice homes for same price they paid for a little 7 room home in New York and get stiff necked.
@@thomasword5762 I've never met anyone from New York here
My brother told me about the increase in homicides in Memphis and several are unsolved… MPD can’t keep up with the crime. That’s a 100 death increase from 2019. So most are unsolved. I’ve been seriously considering moving.
@@marquissmith7945 you sure bout that. Everybody that owns a corner store from New York
Lived very close to Mayfield, KY for 7 years. Went to that town very frequently, and never felt threatened or witnessed any crimes. There was one murder I know about and the town talked about it for months if not over a year. The drug issue is definitely a big problem Mayfield has. But it's not as bad as statistics made it to be. BTW, I am Chinese (yes, with a Chinese accent), and I lived in that area for a long time, and I believe SW KY as a whole is very safe including Graves county ( Mayfield is the county seat).
As a Kentuckian I can say western KY has a lot of good people compared to the rest of ky
I'm surprised Louisville is not on it. We have CHILDREN DEATHS NON STOP. Last week 3 middle schoolers had gummie/drugged, a child died, elementary kids taken in also, my daughters school a 9th grader died last week, another found hanging, white hate crimes DAILY by black lives and covered up, stabbings, shootings, and A HUGE ETC of crap. Like it's shocking NOT having that on the charts.
Louisville is the worst in Kentucky. I live in Covington (maybe 5 minutes from Cincinnati) our crime rate is off the chains, but the city itself covers up A LOT of stuff. There are things that baffle me that I have never seen about on the news but watched out my front door. 😢
Louisville Is definitely far dangerous
@@gail242 Covington is just like Cincy.. I have family in Covington, they hate it there.
Nick Johnson thank you for this video it was very knowledgeable and helpful
Should do one on the safest cities in each state using the same metrics.
I think he has.
Check out El PASO,TEXAS?
We are considered one of the safest cities in America."Is it true?
I been living here since 86 and so far I feel safe living here. The people here are very friendly and very respectful!!!"
To be honest I feel more safe here in EL PASO then I did in my home town "PECOS,TEXAS with a population of only 16000 people!!!!!"
I remember a few years back PECOS was considered the 10th worse town to live in a America!!!!
While I was living in PECOS back then I remembered people getting kill all the time!!!!!!" Sometimes people from other towns or big cities had to come to PECOS to score dope when they couldn't score in their own town.
THERE were a lot of junkies in PECOS when I lived there and I still hear that that things have not changed since.
I hear that things are still the same there.
I'm 64 yrs old and as long as I remember PECOS have always been like that there!!!"
Please check it out!!!!!!
I use to be part of the game back then too!!!!!!
That's why I moved here to EL PASO because I was getting into too much trouble there!!!!!!!
"EL CHUCO" or "ELPASO is a good town to live in!!!!" I love living here, it's a friendly City and I love the way people respect and treat me here!!!!!!!
@@raymondrayos35 "i was part of the game back then." Is like saying "I was Userrrr back then!"
I live in the worst place for Wisconsin Beloit 😂💀
Yes
Nick you're scaring me. I saw my apartment in this video
wave next time!
We live in the same building
@@harmoneypeters you met your neighbor on youtube. That's funny lol
Haaaa
Whoa???
Hold up, Witchitas police chief is named Gordon Ramsay? Oh man...Im not gona be able to stop thinking about THAT for a while.
Great video, it reminds me to have gratitude for my quiet and peaceful home. I really enjoy seeing the craftmanship of the beautiful old buildings
Having lived in Fargo for my whole life of 47 years I can tell you with much confidence that the crime statistics that are used hardly even scratch the surface. There are many crimes that aren’t reported.
That's why stats are unreliable and wack
@@dellawatson1669 It simply means that cities and regions tend to be WORSE than the stats show, but they can NEVER be better than the stats show.
So everyone who's screaming: "The stats are lying! My city / state / country isn't THAT dangerous!" is ironically kind of correct, because those places are actually EVEN MORE dangerous.
@@martinusv7433 Yeah, they even made a Coen Bros movie about how bad the place is.
@@a012345 that was actually in Brainerd lol
I'll be visiting Fargo soon. Drekker Brewing mostly ,but I'm sure I'll wonder around the dt area a bit too. Also ,Junkyard brewery just across the river in Moorehead, MN. I don't think I'll be worried about crime to much while I'm in either of those towns though ,lol
That whole "send all the criminals away" thing has been done before. Today we call that place "Australia".
It appears that’s just not working as Australia is a bloody lot safer than where you live mate !! Thank God for that !!! xoxox ❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️
@@alisondawson5084 lol TRUE but honestly I think that has more to do with your relative isolation and your immigration policies, as well as the fact that the "criminals" were mostly just very poor and stealing to survive back in England. I used to live in West Pymble and you would NOT see millions of "refugees" arrive annually because they knew better. You guys don't put up with people who just pop on over without the appropriate paperwork. "Good on ya" for that.
Ironically it's become a prison colony again from their corrupt politicians.
@@WarbirdPhoenix ~~ Of course the U.S. doesn’t have corrupt politicians. MUCH ! Didn’t they just rid themselves of the biggest liar, cheat and all round twit, when they outed that trump grub ???
@@WarbirdPhoenix ~~ you twit !
the people that commit most of the crime are treated like victims. their lack of accountability is the problem.
Hi Nick keep up the good work....
The entire US is slowly unraveling.

Turn your back on God, and he will turn his back on you.
I live in Vegas and my mother had Jury Duty. The case was a gas station robbery in North Las Vegas. A gang robbed the gas station, kidnapped the clerk, tortured him, and killed him. Then, they put the body in a stolen car and exploded the car. The main gang member was caught on interstate 15 fleeing to Los Angeles. He was charged with homicide, kidnapping, robbery, and murder. He was charged for 150 years in prison. The other gang members have not been caught yet. All of this happened 2 years ago in 2019 and they are trialing him in 2021! My mom said she was happy that they didn't accept her.
17:20 and yes you are right, there is almost a weed store almost every block! And my parents had drunk homeless crying in our porch, twice!! And the education in Nevada sucks! And there is almost a DUI almost every day. And people here suck at driving. And the heat is unbelievable in the summer, it can get as high as 116 Degrees F in the summer, so hot that it can melt car paint and touching a 116 degrees setbelt is not pleasant. The casinos is overwhelming and for a pre teen, there is nothing to do. The park is a bad idea because of the heat, to drink, smoke, gamble, and to enter a nightclub, you need to be 21, to drive a car you need to be 16, and once your older than 7, Chuck E Cheese is not fun. And in all of Nevada, there is only one Dave and Buster's, but most people cant go because they are in poverty!
But there are some pros
Las Vegas is a 4 hour drive from LA, 3 hour drive from Phoenix, 2 hour drive from the famous Area 51, and a 8 hour drive from Reno, (which in my opinion, Reno is a smaller mix of LA and Las Vegas). We also have lots of cool, fun, casinos (well for adults i guess), we are also a hour and a half drive from Pahrump, where you can legally buy fireworks and have prostitutes! We also have the mob museum, which is very cool. We also have hoover dam, Lake Las Vegas, Anthem (Las Vegas version of Beverly Hills with less crime and Hollywood actors) Henderson (A cheaper version of Anthem), LAS (McCarran International Airport, which is the best airport in man kind), lots of cool cars that you can rent, and lots of malls Like Town Square and Fashion Show Mall. We also have the Allegiant Stadium and the T Mobile Arena
Please like this comment, it took me and hour to write.
Fireworks and prostitutes sounds like a great combination!

St. Louis is more dangerous then Springfield tho
I live in Riverton Wyoming. The last place mentioned on this list. It’s incredibly depressing and the crime rate is higher than you think, Personally, last year I’ve lost 3 buddies in high school to drunk driving, and 2 buddies have committed suicide, I’ve heard from the high school about a suicide every 3 months or so, comfort dogs are a common sight in our school. Alcoholism is a massive problem here and it’s getting worse. (:
Someone high up getting kick backs in selling alcohol. There may not be decent housing but there will be a whiskey store there.
Wait people are from Wyoming lol
@@estherfarris3802 the housing seems decent enough given the average price

I vouch for College Park in Georgia. I got pulled over by an AMBULANCE on the way to get rims once. They pulled me over because I was white and they asked if I knew where I was 😂
Lmao
Ha Ha Ha ha 😅😅😅
Thank you for sharing this information with us all, God bless you Brother
You are very welcome
I lived near Tulsa pretty much my whole life. It is as dangerous as it sounds. Before I was 25, I had my place broken into, assaulted (forehead cracked open), & car stolen. I’ve had at least 5 classmates (post graduation, within 2 years) who have died from some sort of violent crime IN Tulsa (grew up in the ~suburb~ of Tulsa).
North Tulsa should burn like greenwood did just with more justification.
I'm sorry.
I lived in Tulsa for 11 years and saw some stuff that I wish I never did.
Go back in time .....Tulsa was a thriving and beautiful past......before Some wicked people came.......
Fast forward......the horror...and terror has birthed a dysfunctional place......Tulsa never rose from the Terror.
Go research Tulsa ....Redwood ....Oklahoma.
@@kenhardyvibesoh you mean black Wall Street that was destroyed through domestic terrorism?
I have to agree with you Nick. It would be nice if we could get rid of crime everywhere. We had two people killed just outside of Baltimore over the weekend. It's a shame when I think to myself, "boy that was a quiet weekend." Don't just watch these videos people; do something about it! Stay safe. 👍
Agreed!
So what have you done to make your area safer? If you can't do it, don't flaunt it.
Please respond and I will tell you how I eliminated the once crime filled area I
live in...Stay Safe, Bee Free. I would encourage folks to take a step toward
stopping crime, it' may be hard to make a huge difference, but it's much harder to
get it under control if you let it keep breeding itself into creation.

Your channel is pretty cool. I do disagree with a few things but overall, you're pretty accurate with your info. Appreciate your channel bro.
I subscribed and the more I watch your videos…the more I appreciate! The more I listen to what you’re saying, the easier it is for feelings to be put aside and ease into your objective facts. You rock my man :)

Whoa, keep it coming "Mr. Nick Johnson," love your show..I think it's the best..👍😊 Hawaii from Idaho..🤘
If there's one takeaway for me from this video, it's that our government policies, doing nothing to stop manufacturing and rural industry from moving to other countries, have gutted rural communities and led to high crime rates and suffering there. People are flocking to cities for service-industry and tech jobs, leaving their communities hollow, boarded-up. Some are stuck in those small towns, unable to leave. Once the tech jobs are done being outsourced--phew, I don't even want to consider the aftermath.
We need more abortions. STOP having kids when you yourself are broke AF.
And yet, they keep voting them into office even tho nothing changes
Welcome to the decline of the American Empire, we all have front row seats! Strap in, the next couple of decades will not get better.
Soon the mass migration will begin. Many will live. Many will die. And all will live in one giant shoe house.
i did a service program after graduating high school and lived in little rock arkansas during their huge crime surge due to co-vid. I worked at a middle school and had students telling me about terrible thing they’ve gone through. One of my sixth graders took her moms car on a joyride, ran from the cops, and killed a 14 year old. I had also almost been shot twice. I moved there from a rich town on the coast of boston so it was quite the place to adjust to. No regrets though, wouldn’t recommend visiting however.
Definitely true for Portland, Oregon so sad used to be a beautiful place

Nick, you’re a goof. Love it.
I looked in the direction of shots fired in Little Rock..........,then realized I was the only one still standing up.....I think they teach that in kindergarten...
LOL. Little Rock was bad 40 years ago. (of course, ALL Cities Were/are still today). I almost transferred there for my job 40 yrs ago, but the plans for all employees transferring from Louisiana we were going to live Outside of Little Rock, all because of it's Crime in the City.
That's bad
Arkansas is the only one he got right.
Having lived in two very dangerous cities Oakland and Atlanta it’s about where you spend time, how you carry yourself and what activities you involve yourself in.
Exactly.
I lived in El Paso, Texas most of my childhood. It's on the border of Texas and Mexico 🇲🇽 on the Rio Grande River. Yes there were gangs. One in particular are called Cholos. If you were cool 😎 and not start any trouble, they were cool 😎 as well. It is really respectful to try to learn Spanish as well. I lived there 8 years. The only bad thing is that there's not many trees. It's in the freaking desert.
@@w.allencaddell6421 I thought you lived in Germany?
Actually that changes nothing and has little to do with this video
Born and raised in Providence Rhode Island. Moved back and forth for years at a time. And I’m back now and it is getting so bad out here!!
Talk about ...addiction...your videos truely are...in a good way..I follow you...Alot...and keep learning new stuff....YOU ROCK
As someone who lives in southern Illinois it’s well known that mt. Vernon is a drug trade town because it’s right between two highways, so crime has always been pretty bad there
What part of Illinois do you live in?
Idk how Rockford wasn’t picked as most dangerous. There’s at least one shooting there almost every day.
@@sowcze5012 I live in the southernmost part of Illinois, around Jackson and Union County
@@morissag4484 this was based off of the scale of population to crime rate judged by the fbi, Rockford is 6th most dangerous just because of its large population compared to crime rate, while mt vernon’s is just as high with many less people
@@derpyman3716 oh I live in Englewood lmao
Seeing Mayfield on here knowing that community got completely flattened by an EF4 tornado late in 2021 saddens me, but also gives me hope that the community will recover. Few things reverse fortunes for a city than bouncing back from an unavoidable catastrophe like a storm.
Like Greensburg, Kansas did. After the F5 tornado in 2007, they built a whole new town that is really beautiful and modern.
@@jessturner6886 I remember watching one of those storm chaser shows when they were near Greensburg when it happened. They drove through right after and it was devastating to see. Wasn't it like 90% of the town's buildings were wiped out? I've gone on Google Street View recently to see it and it looks so nice. They really ran with their name and tried to make their town as green as possible.
@That Shield Dude.. I just read this again. I thought it was Maysville. I remember the horrible tornado.
Not that I should laugh because it is sad, but I love your reaction, "There's only 5000 people here! What the hell?!" 😄
Another Great Ride Nick!
We live in south Carolina we go to myrtle beach every summer and last yr we found out we stayed in a motel where there was a double murder in 2015. And while we were there in 2020 there was a drive by shooting with injuries and the day we were leaving a dead body was found on the beach. Its surely not like it use to be
In such case, perhaps you should seriously reconsider that annual tradition to go to Myrtle in summer? 😓
@@martinusv7433 o we have. If we deside yo bo back it will be north Myrtle beach cause it is always quiet at that end and family oriented. A little higher but well worth it. South myrtle beach is the load, active, and entertainment side anyways. But we love it down there. I think Pensacola Florida is the most beautiful place and area to visit though.
Thank you very much for sharing Nick.. Have a nice day..
Hay Nick love your videos
Well --- I live in Maine. I'm rather surprised to hear about Houlton, which always seems pretty calm to me. I'm surprised the higher crime rate wasn't in Portland or Lewiston. The small rural towns all over Maine are sadly having a horrible problem with drug addiction and overdoses. There have also been several cases of small children overdosing from their parent's drugs.
Yea houlton is trash! But bangor is absolutely garbage and terrible anymore! I went back in November for the first time in 12 years I couldn’t wait to leave!! My husband father lives there so unfortunately going back this summer to shit town pattern I absolutely hate it!!!!
We left Portland Oregon after living there for 54 years! 😥
Texas has proved a much place to raise our children!👍
Stay out of all large cities on I-35 in Texas. They are now all run by Socialists, BLM, and Antifa.
I havent watched your stuff in a long time. The amount of research you've done and footage you've gathered is truly impressive. Bravo
My son my lives in Council Bluffs Iowa he's soon to turn 30 years old and he's been there since he was 16 he's from Indiana and since he's been there he has thrived and he does very well and I'm really proud of him..❤
Yay im glad Kelliy!
I enjoy your videos. I love the stats. I was a cop for 10 years and a Fremantle for over 20 in inner city CT. As soon as I retired I move out of the country. Best move ever!
This is kinda misleading. I've never felt even slightly in danger in Mt. Vernon, but I was about to shit my pants after 2 seconds in East St. Louis.
He said that VT was safe overall, but one town obviously has to rank highest.
@@thegoodlydragon7452 yeah but my comment is about Illinois so idk what you’re talking about.
The video showed Rt37 coming into Mount Vernon.. The problem part of town isn't too far from there...
@@aaronabrahamsen2975 his reply was about Vermont. Bro hadto pick a city in each state. He says that like twenty times.
@@spicytrash4981 ok but he replied to my comment about Illinois. So idk what he was getting at talking about Vermont. His reply had nothing to do with my comment.
Having lived in both garden City, ID and S Salt Lake, UT I would say this holds up. It’s crazy how fast you go from a nice city to an abandoned-esq dump. I was literally in South Salt Lake yesterday and was like, “man I forgot how ghetto this area looks!”
Lol south slc? You ever been to west Ogden? Shits little Mexico.
Been in west valley city my whole life for thirty years. Few months ago I realized I'm literally the only white guy at work. Not worried about the crime as much, but work gets awkward after a while. I'm moving to Minnesota at the end of the month actually.
My hometown in Florida has the cutest downtown you've ever seen. Quaint shops, no graffiti, brick roads, and little parks to explore. But as soon as you get outside that area there's ghettos everywhere. The only refuge from them being gated communities and private subdivisions.
@@alexismiller288 ya I think that's how a lot of big cities go. I want to live in the middle of nowhere honestly, but I still want to be able to get to a gym.
anti asian hated is wrong not asian covid-19 coronavirus vc come from the communist communism communism communist made coronavirus covide-19 your white west grandfather
Kind of scary Emeryville is the last stop for Amtrak's most scenic train route
What you showed was East Biloxi, Mississippi, and there are poor and some middle class living there near the casinos. Biloxi isn't dangerous at all, and if anything happens it's usually due to casino gamblers and some lowlifes.. Edit: And to be honest the most dangerous city in Mississippi is Jackson.
I too lived in bilouxi for a little while i got a job at a shipyard... And i 110% agree bilouxi was a nice change of pace but i lived in west bilouxi near gulfport
"I guess if you take away people's booze, they're not going to commit crimes"
Al Capone called. He'd like a word.
no it just means less drunks on the roads
@@pyramidhead138 No, it doesn't. Prohibition, which is what Chris A was getting at, saw higher crime rates when criminals moved in to supply the booze. You can't reduce crime by trying to control things, it NEVER works. People always find a way around it.
Having control is still better than none. Take away guns and drugs as well. If criminals find away around it, lock them up one by one
@@lenac3587 Re: Guns. Not sure where you are from, Lena, but here in the US we have a thing, above even the Constitution, called Common Law. And one of the central tenets of Common Law is that you cannot charge a person with a crime or inflict pain of penalty on them for doing something that was legal at the time they did it and has since been made illegal. So If I legally buy a gun today, you cant change the law tomorrow to make it illegal and then charge me with breaking the law and confiscate my gun. That's what all these gun control people, who clearly have no idea how the law or civil rights work, get wrong the whole "take them away" argument. It's probably different where you're from, but here in the US we have such a thing as rule of law.
@@lenac3587 that’s been shown not to work time and time again. The oversimplified “solutions” being posed in the comments and the video itself are nearly as disappointing as the crime rates in the video.
Hell yeah!! I'm sitting here waiting on Kansas like "C'mon, Wichita! I know you can do it!"
Did not disappoint.
Can a tourist die there??
@@7back There's been a few. Home of BTK, also.
i live like, 15 minutes away from mayfield in a nearby town. Honesty was not expecting that lol. I grew up near there
The biggest increase in crime is committed by police officers and politicians. There's always been criminals but, we've never witnessed such wanton lawlessness from the "law enforcement" industry and elected officials than what we are experiencing right now.
That's just sad
It’s alarming to see how city’s are when they aren’t being portrayed by the media
Trust me this dude wont say anything bad about antifa
A lot of these aren't where the crime happens. A lot of these are just ghost towns or towns with ran down houses.
He's using overall crime and violent crime stats to judge which city is the worst but that isn't really the best way to do it because some cities just have a lot of drug addicts who steal car parts etc. If he went by the murder rate he would be going to the actual worst cities and neighborhoods. Sometimes they cross over though, like with Florida City, which is definitely the worst in the state.
Wait, Gordon Ramsay's the Wichita police chief now? Is that because of Covid closing restaurants?
Though it did not make this list, I walked around Chico California around 1 am one summer night last year as part of a train trip. Had to walk about a half hour from the train station to the 7-11 to restock my cooler. Big homeless camp right across the tracks from the station. Definitely did NOT feel safe til I got back on the train!
Nick, you don't know how right you truly are.
Mt.Vernon Illinois was a shock to me. I spent a summer there 20 years ago and I would describe it as a sleepy little farm town. I used to drink at a little bar that was frequented by a cop. When I was going to leave early because I was concerned about DWI, the deputy told me that if I was pulled over to just tell them I was hanging out with him.
It’s definitely a per capita statistic, Chicago has areas that turn into war zones some nights. I’d personally take Mt. Vernon all day over the south side.
I grew up in Jefferson County where Mt. Vernon is located. My great great grandfather and family was actually one of the first families to settle in Jefferson County in 1851. I left there in 1965 after Army and never went back except to visit. I still have lots of friends and relatives that live in that area. I was amazed that the city is rated worse than Chicago. Like Jim when I was a teenager hitting all the bars I knew all the policemen and state policeman assigned to Mt. Vernon. When they stopped me which was often (LOL) they always told me to get my tail home. I only recall getting one traffic ticket in Mt. Vernon when I was home on leave from that Army. I deserved that one for sure. I married my wife who lived in Mt. Vernon in 1965 and we are still married. Lived in IL, OH, AZ, and now TX.
He cited Houlton Maine as the worst city and it's the same - sleepy little farm town. He's really off base on that one too.
@@jerryw4471 The two of you are still married. Very welcomed read, in the midst of listening to high crimes & misdemeanors. Thank you.
Money Earn in Mount Vernon.
I thought Camden would have been New Jerseys pick but I'm definitely not surprised about Atlantic City because the hood is only a few blocks from the casinos 🤦♀️🤦♀️
I swear, if I leave the boardwalk it's like walking into another world( and not a good one)
It seemed like every time a casino was brought up this guy assumed that the gamblers were the ones commuting the crimes? That’s hilarious to me and such a far fetched ridiculous assumption to make especially that a very high amount of tourists are the ones visiting to play games with their own money I don’t know just my opinion I guess but as a gambler that isn’t a criminal it was kind of offensive can’t wait to visit the Borgata in Atlantic City on Monday a have the best steak dinner at Old Homestead for about 150$ I guess I better hit the streets and start mugging people! Hahahahaha foh!!
Also did I miss New York being on this list?
Camden made a big change in their policing method and crime actually went down since then.
As fucked up as Camden is, it still has some things going for it that AC lacks: Rutgers has a campus there and the PATCO Speedline to Philly is a 24 hour transit system. Camden overall has decent access to jobs in NJ and PA and ways to get there compared to AC.
I like the drone video of Lagoon Blvd in Brigantine. I lived in Brigantine for years and never visited the boardwalk until my 98lb niece and her 120lb fiancé came to visit me from Ohio. Some 250lb black guy pushed my niece to the ground for no reason. Her fiancé jumped in to save her while we were surrounded by 6 other black guys. I grabbed them both and dragged them into to casino. That was scary. That same year on July 4th weekend an old Canadian woman had her throat cut and her daughter went to help her and had her throat cut too.
Here from Wyoming, for some reason two of the shots you had of Riverton were actually of Fort Washakie
I was just thinking the other day can you do a video of the best city to live in in each state.
As someone who grew up just 15 minutes south of Canton, OH, I was honestly SHOCKED to see it as the most dangerous city. I knew things had been getting bad lately but wow. I really expected to see something like Cleveland or Cincy
Nope 😢
Indianapolis is getting pretty bad as well
I was born and raised in Canton and was shocked. Toledo and Cleveland are definitely crazier on a day to day basis. Canton just has too much crime for the size, which makes it uncomfortable whether you’re in a good neighborhood or not.
Cincy, cleveland, Dayton, toledo, Akron, Youngstown, Springfield, Columbus, canton... shit and I don't even know much about the parts in eastern Ohio like portsmouth but I heard it's very active out there
Cleveland is bad mostly due to east Cleveland which is a small portion of the east side of Cleveland
I live 20 minutes away from Benton Harbor, Michigan. Always used to hang out with a friend and bike with him around there. I never felt a sense of impending danger while visiting there but I've heard of shady things happening. It's the most viable commercial area that those from the surrounding small towns have to drive to buy more niche products other than groceries, not that it's the BEST commercial area but relative to it's surroundings it's what you got.
Love my city Colfax Ave Benton Harbor "Benny Haha but ain't chit funny
@@lucianogambino7831 its scary if you aint cultured or respectful. Aunt stayed there awhile, uncle was in a band with some dudes at the tattoo shop on water st. Could always find plenty of cops and some dro 😂😂
Excellent
I live in wisconsin and yes, because of industry moving out has turned beloit-janesville area way down the scale and unless things start moving back up the area will slide down more. there have been other areas that have rebounded from a steep local recession and the local government needs to work with local businesses and non-profits to begin the upward trend🧐
I worked in Emeryville, Ca. for a year. I'd pull in to the area super early in the morning to avoid traffic and just sleep before we'd start at 6am. Never saw or even heard anything. It was really nice during the day also. We'd take lunch outside on the city provided park benches. Never ever did we see trouble. Not once. The job was down the street and three blocks west of city hall. Had a small town feel to it. I was surprised to see it's rating.
I lived in Las Vegas, and managed to never get into a violent crime or getting my house robbed, life was actually good for me. Nothing bad happened with me. Now I live in a different city, but honestly, many people were actually super nice to me and my family. I don't know how, but yeah life was decent.
I currently live in Vegas. Hoenstly it's just a respect thing. If people either don't know who you are or respect you (well in the hood anyway like where I live), then they won't mess with you. Alot of crimes are people who disrespect or just people who don't know anything about the area so they are too gullible
I’ve worked in the court system in Las Vegas for 15 years. Crime rate has risen at all levels.
Luv the intro music. Blast from the past. When they're getting ready to broadcast a TV show special
A big fault in the list is that in major cities a lot of crime is not reported and people learn to stay indoors to protect themselves. So are these really the worst cities?
As someone who lived in canton Ohio. I lived in a duplex with my single mom who tried hard just to feed us. My neighbor was a drug dealer who hated us so that was fun. Definitely don’t walk around at night you’ll probably get robbed or worse. I’m glad I was raised to have a better life I moved out of canton thanks to a factory job paying me decent.
Good for you!!
I am glad you got out, I worked in downtown akron for two years, akron and canton are just getting so bad it bums me out, and I live closer to cleveland so that says a lot
Canton has the football HOF tho
You only had one mom? My condolences 😔
@@followingtheroe1952 you know darn well that meant she was divorced lol, was her fault she cheated so eh.
As an Indiana native I live 30 minutes away from South Bend & an hour away from Benton Harbor, these stats don't even cover half of the crime in these places. The amount of unreported crime would scare you! They also didn't mention that people just disappear, here today gone...tomorrow and no one says a word. Families left to wonder where there loved one is and all anyone says is "they're an adult, they can leave if they want to". Also, the absolute WORST thing to happen to South Bend was there mayor, good ol Pete Buttiguge (not sure of the spelling). The city was on the uptick until he came into office. With every passing year it got exponentially worse!
South Bend is the only town on this list that I spent any time in. That was many many years ago. I was there with my parents. Nothing bad happened but my folks decided to move to Tennessee after only two months in South Bend. The reason: My Dad's job fell through. I agree about Mayor Pete. He's in over his head just like the Veep. Both of their jobs should fall through. In my opinion.
At least Talladega Superspeedway is close to the first one, so NASCAR fans are probably there. What are your thoughts on Hyannis, Massachusetts?
Just wondering, Nick, do you ever stop for stop signs?! 😄
I used to live near Emeryville CA. Despite what's said in this video it's actually not too bad of a place in some areas. Pixar's headquarters are even located there. I used to go there a lot when I was under 10 years old. Admittedly, there are some bad parts and lots of homeless people, but the good parts are actually really great. It was honestly funny seeing a town so close to where I used to live being the most dangerous city in America lmao. I moved away from there about 4 years ago so it might have changed, but Emeryville isn't as bad as it seems.
It hasn't changed. And you nailed it. Most robberies happen close to Oakland's border, but the city is peaceful in general.
Yes it's not as bad, it's way worse in Oakland
Same thing with the cities in MA, it’s not that bad tbh, the jobs and schools suck but it’s okay
San Pablo Avenue! Whores, junkies, and thieves!
This dude is judging how bad a neighborhood is by looking at the shape of the buildings. The worst neighborhoods are 20 minutes south east of downtown, and a few uptown and northwest of downtown. The ones south east is where the major crime happens, the ones just north of downtown are mainly just homeless people camps. Like just blocks of tents. Emeryville is like 10-15 minutes northwest of the homeless people area. Like 30-40 minutes from the crime hood. Oakland has a crazy amount of graffiti everywhere so some places look worse than they are.
HIM: 1 IN 5 PEOPLE GETS ROBBED
ME: AND THE SAME ROBBER COMMITS 3 ROBBERIES A DAY.
I for sure thought it was gonna be Cleveland but I’m not surprised about Canton since it’s actually larger than people think and has had huge drug issues for decades.
For Iowa, both Fort Dodge and Council Bluffs are pretty bad. I go to Council Bluffs quite often, and while there are some bad parts to it, there is a lot of cool history and architecture there!
You're giving stats on towns and cities...not just cities. Usually when the population is over 50,000 then it goes from a township to a city. But thanks for the video.
Note: Buckhead (north of Atlanta) is supposedly really bad here in Georgia too.
Yep I agree
You mean Bankhead ? Buckhead it’s more close to Liverpool/ north of Syracuse
@UCMAgPYzIhrIRplz9cMPyX2Q lol that’s what I’m saying I’m not from Atlanta but I’ve been going there 10-15 times since I was 8
Buckhead is not bad you can’t be from atlanta
Kenai (Alaska) is pronounced Keen Eye. I used to live there. Hope that helps. Thanks for the informative video!
A crime scene photograph at the corner of N. William St. and W. Madison St. that you showed in 10. Worst places to live in Indiana - - South Bend, Indiana. This was a very educational program as I owned a building 80 feet from that specific intersection. I sold the building and retired from being a landlord as the crime statistics were headed south
You use a solid base of publicly available crime, 😮 statistics and educational statistics to do your rankings. Thank you for these very educational and informative programs. Say hello to MAPIE and please introduce him to the chief of police or the sheriff here in South Bend.
I worked a major 3 month remodel in Memphis. It can be rough but does have some redeeming qualities as well. Once you cross the river into West Memphis, AR all bets are off. That place is like little Vietnam every night. You just get used to the constant gun battles.
