Did your city make our list?
California is well known for many things: Hollywood, the beaches, celebrities, and the scenic views. However, with major cities and so many tourists frequenting the state also comes a much higher crime rate than you might initially expect. Sure, certain cities are worse than others, but there are many cities in California that you don’t want to be around — or be alone in — especially if you are visiting and aren’t familiar with the area.
There are a number of reasons you should be aware of the cities considered the most dangerous. This data is important not only for the residents of each city, but for those on vacation. Additionally, if you plan on moving your family to a new location, you want to know exactly how dangerous the new city is. This information is just as important when making the decision as knowing whether or not there are good schools, low unemployment rates, or a high cost of living.
Many factors go into account calculating the crime rate and how dangerous a city is. While we understand this doesn’t give an accurate portrayal of everyday life in these cities, it does state the numbers. These are 10 of the most dangerous cities in California, according to the FBI Uniform Crime Report. The numbers represent the rate of violent crime, which includes violent crime offenses and property crime offenses, as well as other factors which may affect safety.
