And if you want the full breakdown (with some extra humor from my hubby Jack), donât miss our accompanying video at the end!

10. Stockton, California
Stockton offers fertile farmlandâand a crime rate thatâs anything but peaceful. This is a city where folks plant more security cameras than crops. Midnight walks? Definitely not recommended.
9. Milwaukee, Wisconsin
We love Milwaukeeâitâs got cheese curds and beer. But it also ranks high for crime. If you visit, hold tight to your wallet and your Harley. Road trips are fun, but theft isnât.
8. Albuquerque, New Mexico
Known for its beautiful desert views and hot air balloons, Albuquerque also has some hot crime scenes. Take a Breaking Bad tour, just donât let your tour bus get broken into along the way.

7. Cleveland, Ohio
Cleveland rocks⊠but the crime rate here rolls just as hard. Itâs a city where people have learned to appreciate life from behind locked doors. If you visit, a solid lock should be at the top of your shopping list.
6. Kansas City, Missouri
Known for finger-licking BBQ, Kansas City serves up high crime rates too. Enjoy your ribs, but donât let someone steal your car keys along with the bill. Itâs a city where nothingâespecially not your peace of mindâis guaranteed.
5. St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis offers stunning views from the Gateway Arch, but life here is best enjoyed from behind a security camera. High crime after sporting events is just part of the local experience.

4. Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimoreâs famous for crab cakesâbut itâs also where crime is always on the menu. This isnât a city for careless strolling. Keep your valuablesâand your peace of mindâclose at all times.
3. Birmingham, Alabama
With a deep-rooted history and sky-high crime, Birminghamâs motto should be: âHospitality with a side of home security.â If you plan to move here, make sure your security system is sweeter than the iced tea.

2. Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis is all about the blues and BBQ, but it also hits hard with high crime rates. Keep an eye on your car while visiting Graceland, or you might find yourself singing the blues in more ways than one.
1. Detroit, Michigan
Detroit takes the top spot. This legendary city isnât just famous for carsâitâs also known for how fast they disappear. If you plan on moving to Motor City, investing in security cameras might be your best bet.
