The Most Dangerous City In Arizona

It's no secret that some parts of Arizona are safer than others, and unfortunately, one city stands out as the least safe of them all.

PropertyClub ranked the most dangerous cities in Arizona, using data from the FBI's Uniform Crime Report from 2021-22 and state and local crime data from 2022. They also used crimes and violent crime rates per 1,000 people or per capita.

"Arizona is known for its vast national parks and picturesque desert sunsets. In recent years, people have been moving to Arizona from states like California for a lower cost of living and lower crime. However, if crime rates are a concern, many places in the state are best avoided," the report states.
