I live in the Twin Cities and I think would challenge the Bloomington pick.

Great marketing information. If my an area I represented was on the list, I would be broadcasting it to all my clients.

Wow, was surprised not to see Spokane on there but at least Seattle is there :) Thx for the info!

yahhhh, I would DEFINITELY challenge the number 1 and 2 spots. I lived in Milwaukee, now Cedarburg outside it, and that city is just crap. SO much of it has such an unsafe feel, BUT I will say the police force has been making it safer. The crime rates are down for sure, but NOT PROPERTY CRIME…and armed robberies was sky rocketing in the neighborhood I lived in right before I moved out.
Minneapolis I heard has been having problems with gangs and the crime rates were soaring as well….
idk who published this one, but the first two shouldnt be on there for sure at least I think!

Wow milwaukee should definatly now be on their….

i live in one of the “safe” parts and my neighbor was locked in the trunk of their own car and that car was driven into a river.

jay December 24, 2009 at 2:28 pm

Minneapolis won’t be anymore this year.. we’re on our 6th homocide this year.. right now.

I do love Minnesota though… for the most part ;)

i thought new york was the safest city.

guwa January 29, 2010 at 12:04 am

Not true. I have lived in two of those areas and have never felt safe after dark. Where as, I have been in (major) cities not on that list where it is very safe.

Waggonwe February 26, 2010 at 8:26 am

Cincy should not be on their for sure!

Debie Loren March 8, 2010 at 4:22 pm

Some cities in the USA were very violent in up to 80 years. New York was a reference to the lower crime rates.

aaron March 10, 2010 at 10:17 pm

omg where is maine? Like a lot of cities in Maine are pretty safe. Cept portland lewiston or agusta yaknow

Why the hell is Cincinnati and Cleveland on this list? Especially Cleveland. Cincinnati and Cleveland are one of the most dangerous cities in Ohio and the US. In Cincinnati last month, there were 5 murders in 5 days. And Cleveland is the 7th most dangerous city in the US. You are seriously trippin. You might as well put Detroit on the list too.

Dave May 12, 2010 at 3:36 pm

Maybe Cincy should not be on there but Cleveland definitely should not be on the list.

shanaynay July 31, 2010 at 6:27 pm

Wendy Richards August 16, 2010 at 2:51 pm
