Morgan Quinto's ranking of Safest and Most Dangerous Cities

Lawrence, KS—After years of waiting, Brick, New Jersey at last has claimed the title as America’s Safest City. The announcement was made in the new edition of City Crime Rankings, an annual reference book of crime statistics and rankings slated for publication this week. The results of the 13th annual Safest City Award were released today by Morgan Quitno Press, a Lawrence, Kansas-based publishing and research company. At the opposite end of the crime scale, St. Louis, Missouri was named the nation’s Most Dangerous City, a title it last held in 2002.

“Brick Township always has fared well in our Safest City rankings. For the last six years of our study, it has ranked as one of the top five safest cities in the U.S., “said Scott Morgan, President of Morgan Quitno Press. “It’s safety record is impressive, with no murders or rapes reported. Brick also boasts the lowest overall violent crime and robbery rates among cities across the nation.”

The Morgan Quitno Safest City Award is based on a city’s rate for six basic crime categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft. All cities of 75,000+ populations that reported crime data to the FBI for the six crime categories were included in the rankings. In this year’s survey, 371 cities were considered for the award. Final 2005 statistics, released by the FBI on September 18, 2006, were used to determine the rankings.

Joining Brick at the top of the Safest City rankings are Amherst NY, Mission Viejo CA; Newton MA and Troy MI.

At the opposite end of the Morgan Quitno crime scale, St. Louis, Missouri not only came out ahead of Detroit in the World Series, it also beat out Detroit to rank as the nation’s most dangerous city. St. Louis reported the highest violent crime and property crime rates among cities of 75,000 or more population.

“St. Louis last ranked as the Most Dangerous City in 2002,” said Morgan. “While the city clearly struggles with crime, there is some good news: St. Louis’ property crime rate has fallen 14 percent since 2001.”

Trailing St. Louis on the more dangerous end of the crime rankings (in ascending order) are Detroit MI, Flint MI, Compton CA and Camden NJ.

In addition to ranking the safety of cities, Morgan Quitno Press also examined crime in metropolitan areas. For the first time, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin tops the rankings as America’s Safest Metropolitan Area. The Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, MI metropolitan division ranked as the most dangerous for the third consecutive year.

The findings of the 13th annual Safest City and Metropolitan Area Awards are featured in City Crime Rankings 13th Edition, an annual reference book from Morgan Quitno Press. The newly updated edition of this volume will be available November 9th. The Safest City and Metropolitan Area rankings are one of six Morgan Quitno Awards announced annually by the company. These other annual announcements designate the nation’s Most Livable State (a state quality of life survey); the Healthiest State (a survey of state health care); the Safest and Most Dangerous States (a state crime survey); the Smartest State (a state education survey) and the Most Improved State (a survey of state trends.)

yah how was NY on that list..well I did hear that some police chief cleaned it up a ton, and is doing the same thing to LA right now.
NYC is on that list because the city as a whole is pretty safe. If you take all the numbers of the really rich/middle class areas and the poor/lower class areas and crunch them down together into one number that is. But some parts of NYC are as big as moderate sized cities and are grimey as fuck.

You would more or less have to go by borough to get a more accurate number. Maybe even by neighborhood.

I mean take Queensbridge for example. Over 10,000 people live in ONE housing project. That's a lot of people in one condensed low income area. Of course the crime rate there is going to be high. But then you get Midtown Manhattan which is rich as fuck for the most part and the crime there is rather low for as many people that live there. So it all kind of evens out.

Uhhhhhhhhhh Yakima, Wa before Oakland????
Where did you see that?

*edit*

Nevermind.

You have to remember this is by per capita and not just murders, assaults, etc. Maybe a lot cars get stolen in Yakima and houses broken into. I've been there and it does have it's bad areas and shit does go down there. But it's not as crazy as Oakland though, and I've been there too.

I dont know who put that shit together, but some parts of San jose are sicc as fuckk when I live off of Stevens Creek back in say 95; now San Jose a safe city? Them mexicans are crazy as fuck there, at least when I lived there. Same for Salinas, Watsonville, Gilroy and that are area. Most of the crime evolved from dissin to someone fuckin somebody's girl. MF's didnt like to see or experience other cats diggin into their women, especially black cats like me. First time I've ever been shot was San jose eastside.

i think everyone agrees with that. u just have a bunch of san jo cats actin like its kill or be killed out in the 408, when its just the opposite. with almost a million ppl and only 18 murders so far this year its damn safe, and there's nothin wrong with that...

ppl pullin the cards of some of these cats that over-do it and think they gotta lie about their city to make it seem "cool/hood"
