Interesting that Provo, Utah is #1 safest. Listening to a few crime podcasts, it seems a lot of people go missing in the SLC area, including Provo, and many of them are cold cases.
Every where listed in the south I have traveled to many times and never felt in danger at all. Each of those cities I have met kind generous people far more than I ever did in any north east city.
For fun look in to how individual Municipalities decide to report crimes and relevant statistics. Here is a hint the most popular cities, NY, LA, etc... have a maximum limit of crime they will report and investigate not determined by budget or personnel but by property value.
I have been to Memphis countless times. I am including it in the list. I am not saying it does not have crime, I am also not saying there is not a part of it that is dangerous. I am saying to classify the entire city as dangerous because of criminal elements is a bit of an exaggeration. Memphis is very welcoming and friendly and for the most part safe, in my experience.
Also Memphis does not have maximums for reporting crimes like the other cities do so it is probably the most honest in reporting.
Nothing strikes more fear in me than thinking of having to travel to Wichita. Lol wtf.
Albuquerque and Detroit make sense.

Any "new" data that might suggest lower crime rates is laughable given the lockdowns.
Detroit is starting to resemble Gary, IN in the 80's. OCP needs RoboCop back on the streets. Ha.
