Minneapolis Makes The List Of Most Dangerous Cities Again
This definitely isn't a list you want to be on but no city is fully free from crime, especially larger cities with bigger populations. Now, the 25 most dangerous cities in the country have been revealed.
U.S. News & World Report always releases a list of the most dangerous cities in the country for the year ahead. I hadn't looked yet this year so I decided to look at their list for 2026 - 2027.
To put this list together, they looked at every city's murder rate and property crime rate per 100,000 people. They used FBI crime reports to get these rates.
Why put this list together? Because crime is a big factor in where people decide to move or stay in many cases. Sadly, Minnesota made the list.
