  • Kansas City isn’t just the most dangerous city in Missouri; it’s close to topping the list of most dangerous cities in the United States.
  • The FBI reports over 7,365 violent crimes in the city over the course of 2022 alone.
  • With the second-highest untimely demise rate in the nation, those numbers aren't surprising... but they sure are depressing.

Kansas City, Missouri

Almost every year since 2015, murders have increased year-over-year. There are around 7,414 violent crimes annually, according to Neighborhood Scout. Property crimes account for about 21,708 crimes annually. In 2022, the crime rate was at about 23,485, making the year one of the worst years for crime in the city's history.

Did you know...

  • 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!
  • The surface area of Pluto is just under 6.5 million square miles. The CIA Factbook lists the area of Russia to be just over 6.6 million square miles. That makes Russia bigger than Pluto (and much closer to visit). Are you still very upset that Pluto isn’t a planet anymore?
  • 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. The flight is so long that it doesn't even have an economy class. Only first-class and business-class arrangements are offered.
  • There are over 61,000 people on a plane in the air over the U.S. at any given moment. That makes sense because the U.S. has one third of all the airports in the world. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world with over 100 million total passengers every year since 2015.
  • Even though it is spread across five time zones, the entire country of China is set to Beijing time. Having a single time zone in the United States would certainly make things easier. Currently, the USA is spread across six, but a single time zone would make things a little wonky in Alaska and Hawai'i.
