Minnesota City Makes List Of “Most Dangerous Places In U.S.”

One Minnesota city has found itself ranked on the 2025-2026 list of "Most Dangerous Places in the U.S."

U.S. News & World Report's latest list of "Most Dangerous Places in the U.S." placed Minneapolis at $25.

The comprehensive ranking evaluated over 850 cities across the United States, using FBI crime reports to analyze murder rates and property crime statistics per 100,000 residents.

These metrics provide families and individuals with crucial data when making decisions about where to establish roots and raise children.

For Minneapolis, this ranking reflects ongoing challenges with urban crime that many major cities face nationwide.

The Twin Cities metro area has grappled with rising crime rates in recent years, particularly following social unrest and policy changes that have impacted law enforcement approaches.

Many suburbs and districts within the greater Minneapolis region maintain relatively low crime rates compared to national averages.

Crime statistics influence not only where families choose to live but also property values, business investment, and economic development opportunities.

While rankings provide valuable context, individual circumstances and personal safety awareness remain the most critical factors in urban living.
