The FBI recently released crime statistics that the agency compiled from US cities with a population over 100,000 between January 2017 to June 2017.
Among the data was the number of violent crimes committed in these cities, including murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.
We then took these violent crime rates per 10,000 people to rank the most violent city in each state. Since there are 10 states in the US without a city over 100,000 people, the rankings below do not include every state.
One of the most surprising findings was that, despite its reputation, Chicago was not the most violent city in Illinois based on the FBI's violent crime rate.
