How they figured these

Spoiler

We separated these crimes into four groups: murders, violent crimes (murder, rape, robbery, and assault), property crimes (burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft), and total crimes. The cities were then ranked on the incidents of each group per 100,000 residents per year, from 1 to 234, with a higher score being more dangerous. We calculated the number of crimes per 100,000 residents for 2012 in order to have a level playing field on which to compare cities with varying population sizes.

The individual rankings (murders, violent crimes, property crimes and total crimes) were then weighted to create a final overall score. Murders, violent crimes, and property crimes each comprised 30 percent of the total, while total crimes made up 10 percent. The higher this combined score, the more dangerous the city.

Below, you’ll find a breakdown of how each of the 10 most dangerous small/medium/large cities fared when judged on these criteria.

Don't you get housing allowance from the VA?

Everybody I've talked to that's in the military thought Travis AFB was the best they've been to, why leave?

What isthe cost of living like in those Cali cities listed?

A lot. I can speak for Glendale, Torrance and Thousand Oaks. Those are in the greater LA area. It's still cheaper here than the Bay or San Diego though.

A studio in Glendale will run about $1k a month. And this is not one of the nicer ones. A 1500 sq ft home, circa post WWII era like in Gangster Squad, will be about $500k in Glendale. Think super small garage that your passenger has to get off before you drive into the garage.

Homes in Thousand Oaks are newer and more expensive. This is where new money is at. Think the homes like you would see in the Kadashians. When I was looking at rent for a potential job, average was about $1500 per month for a one bedroom.

I'm surprised Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and Irvine aren't on there. If I recall correctly, Irvine was the safest city in the country for the last few years.

 

[wartortle]

Lol I had a feeling Wilmington would be on it but had no idea it would be number one.

 

[br0keballer]

Knew Wilmington de would be number one. Shootings everyday and homicides every other day. I live 10 min from there too smh.

I just now Glendale is mad expensive, Sunnyvale is just about the same as every other bay area city, expensive.

 

[zapatohead408]

Also, I passed by Oxnard, that place looked horrible. Thought for sure their crime would be up. Place was dirty and appeared abandoned as far as taking care of buildings. Place was uglier than East LA
