We all have a city in our state we’re told to stay away from, and for a good reason. Most of them have an extremely high crime rate. These statistics are recorded by the police and reported back to the FBI so they can compile a list of dangerous places in the states. Occasionally, the FBI will release these numbers, giving us the chance to get an in-depth look at our state.

We were lucky enough to get our hands on the most recent statistics and dig through all those numbers. It turns out that several states have a crime issue. Take a look through our report to find out the most dangerous city in your state. Were you surprised, or was it something you knew before clicking in?

All information is compiled from the FBI website and U.S. Census reports. Information in this list dates back to 2020, although local news reports were used to find more recent numbers. Long story short, we advise steering clear of any of the following cities on this list. Due to a number of factors, these are the most dangerous cities in each state. Stay safe out there, folks! The world isn't what it used to be...

  • Idaho is one of the safest states in the nation.
  • Annual Crime Rate: 241 incidents per 100,000 people.
  • Most Dangerous City: Garden City
  • In this small city of just over 12,000 people, there were 84 violent crime cases and 241 property crimes.

Garden City, Idaho

While there was only one person unalived in the city in 2020, there were a surprising number of assaults. From nine assault cases to 72 aggravated assaults, Garden City is not the place to be. Even though Garden City's three times more dangerous than the rest of Idaho, it's overall a pretty safe city.

  • The longest flight in the world is between Singapore and Newark, New Jersey. Depending on which way you're flying, it takes around 18.5 hours to complete the 9,534 miles of the journey.

  • Taking a vacation is good for your health! Studies have shown that a vacation can help to lower your risk of heart disease. It's also a proven way to improve your creativity. So if you have some writer's block or need to lower your stress, grab a friend and go on an adventure!
  • Minnesota might say that it's the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," but Canada has it beat. The country as a whole has over three million lakes. That means Canada has 60% of the world's total number of lakes within its borders. It must seem like paradise for people who like to fish or boat!
  • Jet lag is worse when you're traveling from west to east. That's because the changes in time zones become not only more physically apparent on your body, but they are also more culturally apparent. If restaurants close at 10pm on the East Coast, you'll just be getting hungry since it will feel like 7pm on your West Coast-adjusted body.
  • You've heard of the phrase "wanderlust," but do you know the German word "fernweh"? It means "far sickness" or an intensely strong urge to travel. The next time you feel the need to head out on a road trip, you've got a case of fernweh. And the only cure is to travel somewhere new!
