The firm analyzed FBI crime report statistics and population data to compile the new rankings. These rankings are based upon violent crime and property crime data from 2019 (the most recent year for which data was available). We excluded towns with populations below 2,500 (considered rural by the US Census Bureau), and set a population threshold of 17,375 based on the median US population after those towns were excluded, SafeWise said.
