\nDetermining the Safest and Most Dangerous State Rankings
\n1. Crime rates per 100,000 in murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft are individually applied to a formula and compared to the national average.2. The category results are added to give each state a composite score.
\n3. The composite scores are ranked from highest to lowest to determine the safest and most dangerous states. The farther below the national average, the safer a state ranks (and vice versa) on the final list.
\nNote: Crime figures are for the most recent year for which final FBI numbers are available.
