Top 10 Most Dangerous US Cities in 2025 (Based on FBI Data)

Send us Fan MailCrime rankings tend to generate strong headlines — but what do the numbers actually show?In this episode, I look at the latest FBI data for 2025 and examine which US cities record higher reported crime rates, and how those figures are calculated.We’ll explore:• How crime statistics are measured and compared • The difference between violent and property crime • Why certain cities consistently rank higher • And what context often gets lost in simplified listsThis isn’t about labelling places or fuelling fear.It’s about understanding the data behind the headlines — and how urban safety is shaped by economic, historical, and social factors.Having lived in both Australia and the United States, I’m also interested in how each country talks about crime — and how perception sometimes differs from lived reality.If you’re curious about how these rankings work, this is a measured look at the numbers and what they do — and don’t — mean.Support the channel:☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth🌏 Website: https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth📷 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919🐦 X: https://x.com/aussiemika74📩 Business enquiries & collaborations: [email protected] for watching. Hoo roo maties.Support the showCheck out additional content on our YouTube page!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjipgN51kc8swHyKeSx2tzw
