"For the purposes of city ranking reports, the terms “dangerous” and “safest” refer explicitly to crime rates as calculated from FBI crime data—no other characterization of any community is implied or intended. We calculated per capita crime rates for 44 states that submitted complete data to the FBI. Here's a look at how crime rates trended across the US. Violent crime rates held steady or decreased in 66% of states.15 states saw a jump in violent crime year over year. Property crime rates held steady or decreased in 64% of states—despite rising nationwide. 16 states saw a jump in property crime rates. 9 states saw both violent and property crime rates rise year over year."
