We also explore median household income, employment, education, and annual budgets for more context about the "safest" and "most dangerous" metros. If a metro area didn't submit a complete report to the FBI or doesn't meet our population threshold of at least 300,000 people, we don't consider it for ranking. Those with higher crime rates fall to the bottom, with the lowest 10 making up the list of “most dangerous” big cities. That's where the ranking comes from-if a metro area reports the lowest weighted and normalized violent and property crime rates per 1,000 residents, it lands at the top of the list. We look at both property and violent crime-calculating the rate of each per 1,000 people. This data isn't perfect-it's self-reported by law enforcement agencies yearly-but it's the most comprehensive US crime data available. We started with per capita crime rates for each MSA, based on FBI crime and population data.
