Wisconsin City Among 25 Most Dangerous Places In U.S.

No place is completely safe from crime. Even the smallest of towns have some type of crime and that's just the way it goes.

Crimes vary, of course, from petty crimes to more serious crimes, like murder or assault or robbery.

Recently, the U.S. News & World Report released their list of the 25 most dangerous cities in the country. They release this list every year and this list is for 2025 and 2026.

Minneapolis was named the 25th most dangerous city in the country, meaning Minnesota made the list unfortunately.

What Factors Contribute To Being One Of 'The Most Dangerous' Cities

U.S. News & World Report looked at two different factors to come up with this list: property crime rates and murder rates per 100,000 people. They got these rates from data provided by the FBI.

The good news is that the Wisconsin city on the list is found near the bottom, if that is any consolation. The most dangerous city at the moment, according to this report, is Memphis. I have been there and loved it, but I also didn't explore much.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin Named Top 25 Most Dangerous City In The Country

Sadly, Milwaukee has been named the 24th most dangerous city in the United States right now. With a population of over 500,000 people, crime is bound to happen but it's a bummer to make a list like this.

This is the only Wisconsin city to make the list and since Milwaukee came in near the bottom, maybe it will fall off the list all together next time around.

Milwaukee can't catch a break: the city was just named a top bed bug destination in the country and one of the most stressed out cities in the United States.
