6. Anchorage, Alaska
7. Springfield, Missouri
8. San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City, California
9. Corpus Christi, Texas
10. Florida City, Florida
Yes, Anchorage, the most populated city in the state of Alaska, is on the list. Even though it is not that big (with a population of 300.000), the crime rate is statistically high. The chances of being mugged in this city are considerably higher than being hit by a natural disaster. This says a lot, considering that Anchorage has a high rate of earthquakes and tornados.
Have any of you (except for people from California) heard of Redwood City? Well, it seems that this little city is one of the most dangerous cities to live in and the rate is pretty high: 2 per one thousand inhabitants.
In recent years, Florida’s levels of concern have decreased significantly, although it remained high enough to be on the list of the most dangerous cities in the United States.
