Violent Small towns.

What's going on with everyone? It's time to take a look at the most

violent

small

towns

in America. We all know that big cities are full of crime, but statistically you are more likely to be involved in an assault or worse, in a

small

town there are some amazing places. small, quiet

towns

in this country, so there are some that have to start over, you know, like slashed, burned, whatever starts them over, this list is based on the 2018 FBI crime data report that looks at cities with a population of less than 20,000 but over a thousand if you get into the population of 100 a good bar fight could statistically make it look like the worst place in the country the FBI defines a

violent

crime as basically hitting someone non-negligent homicide robbery and aggravated assault there's another word that goes here, but I don't want to be demonetized, so we'll just call it unauthorized use of another person's body.

I'm not making light of anything, you just don't want to activate the algorithm. It takes them a couple of days to review it manually. and it sucks anyway, this list focuses on cities that aren't really in the middle of a metropolitan area on their own as an example. If you take the City of Industry, it's just mixed in the middle of the greater Los Angeles area and it's horrible and it's probably worse than most of the ones on this list, but it also has a horrible neighborhood so it's like a big mess . These are their own individual disasters, so if you look at the cities by that criteria, you have to start with number ten, Henderson North.

Carolina, this little town has been around for a while. Henderson as a community has a very deep history. It was actually established in 1785 to be exact. Now it's not too far from the state capital and the place stinks. Henderson has a serious problem with violent crime and that's it. Why it is on this list with almost 15 violent crimes per 1000 residents makes Henderson one of the worst places in North Carolina to live. The city had 192 violent crimes in 2018, that should be enough to tell you to stay away from Henderson, but if you still want to call a local real estate agent, you should know that they had a staggering 93 property crimes per every thousand residents in 2018.

This community has some serious problems across the board, including an elderly woman who throws rocks at cars from her porch, which a local told me about. This was great, they said she used to do it from the woods, but as she got older, you know, she didn't walk into the woods next to the road anymore. Now Hux just swings from her porch and yells bad words. Henderson has over 15,000 residents and about 28% of them live in poverty which is always a factor in the crime rate of any place number nine Columbus New Mexico the small town of Columbus New Mexico shares a border with Mexico and you don't want live there. would suggest that even driving near there in recent years Columbus has been a hotbed of organized crime where it is estimated that 15% of the population of 2000 people may be involved in illegal activities, serious legal activities not counting the guys and the daisy dukes, we're talking real. crimes like drug smuggling drug smugglers have made Columbus their home the city's small police force is plagued by scandals and constantly in disarray and the disarray is being generous in march the mayor of columbus the city's police chief and a village trustee were among several city officials accused of trafficking firearms to Mexico like I said, don't move here, the violent crime rate is about 18 per 1,000 residents number eight Dillingham Alaska In 1881 after the United States purchased Alaska, the United States Signal Corps built a weather station near where Dillingham is located today.

The Arctic Packing Company came in and built their first cannery in Bristol Bay right there in 1883. It is just across the river from the site of Dillingham's current operations. He began the following year with a package of 400 cases of salmon, which was not many in 1903. They built a total of ten canneries along the river, including four within the current city limits, and produced up to 1 million of boxes of canned salmon. Most of these canneries were closed for various reasons, including coastal erosion, and there's really nothing else. What to talk about when it comes to Dillingham, plus it's a great place to stay if you have a bail bondsman looking for you, and another thing: They apparently don't mind attacking each other.

They had just over 2,000 residents as of last year. 38 of were assaulted in one way or another 19 violent crimes per thousand residents in Dillingham Alaska I I can't think of a reason to move there honestly, I mean you also have to worry about getting trampled by a moose which is a real concern in Alaska I Boy, you're not number seven Lumberton North Carolina, the city of Lumberton was created by an act of the North Carolina General Assembly in 1787, so it's been around a bit, actually Napoleon was 18 years old When the place was established, the city was only 20 years old when it began. wearing the side hat of him what I hate about this place and yes I've been there, it looks like a really nice town.

The houses are well maintained. The streets are not dirty for the most part. They have an incredibly green building. You know, the place is nice. -looking only they have crime problems that no one can solve in Lumberton thirty five point one percent of the population lives below the poverty line and have had serious drug problems for years between April and June 2017 three young women were murdered in the same area where no one has been arrested they don't know what's going on the overall crime rate in Lumberton is 51 percent higher than the national average there are 22 violent crimes per thousand residents in Lumberton number six doniphon Missouri doniphon is in the middle of nowhere except about two thousand people call it home and don't really seem to care.

I guess it doesn't really seem like they're going away. They don't lose people. They don't win people. They're just all the same people. between st. Louis and Memphis almost the same distance as st. Louis to the north and Memphis to the south, so if you decide you need to get to the nearest big city, your options suck. Doniphon doesn't seem much better, its suction is just a smaller scale of Google, where flooded buildings caught fire. and six idiots who are like 50 years old assaulted a guy who assaulted one of their friends or something, that's something high school kids do, but they're 50 years old and they decide to do this with the bad part that they didn't know about. what they're doing and the guy didn't survive the assault, that's just one of the many strange stories about this place.

They have 26 violent crimes per thousand residents. Remember what I said about starting a city on the number five. Osceola Arkansas. up the Mississippi River from Memphis Tennessee you have Osceola Arkansas this is what happens with Arkansas if a city or town is not in the northwest corner of the state you are probably risking your life visiting any town or city that is part of the state is great, the Rest is always dangerous, sure you can find the occasional gem but most places are dangerous like Osceola Osceola has more than enough violent crime to go around recently, a police officer was charged after shooting two people during a traffic stop. traffic and in 2017 an officer who had been suspended four times fired rehired by the Osceola Police Department accidentally shot a 16 year old he was chasing it's just not safe in this city they have 26.5 violent crimes per thousand residents and Osceola is like they were trying to catch up with Memphis or something like number four Spanish New Mexico.

The city that began as Española is believed to have been named by railroad workers in the 19th century. At the time of the railroad's construction, a small restaurant in the area was nicknamed Hispaniola. Due to the large presence of Spanish women near you, you will see that they did not speak the language very well. I think they thought they were saying something else anyway. About ten thousand people called this northern New Mexico city home and probably spent a lot of time cooped up. gates and investigating security systems I don't want to make it sound like this place is dangerous, but there were safer beaches in Normandy.

This city seems to have never left the lists of the most dangerous cities in New Mexico since they started making lists that had 306 violent ones. Crimes in 2018, which gives them 30 violent crimes per thousand residents. Numbers 3 told South Carolina that the town of Estill is located in the southern half of Hampton County. Estill was formed in 1901 and they needed a rail line between Augusta Georgia and Savannah Georgia at the time of construction. of the railway line, the new town of a still was incorporated in 1905 now, if you want to have a little fun, well, it's not really fun, it's a bit gross Google.

It still seems like criminal people get shot every weekend in this city and I think it's a type that I really do, it has police sketches all over it. I texted a friend who grew up in Hilton Head, South Carolina, it's a world away, but it's actually an hour away. I asked him if he knew anything about this city and his answer was me. try not to do it and then he answers me what the hell is going on in Estill you're making a list about what I said violence he said oh well you understood he said the city is like going back in time to the 1940s the only thing that It doesn't look like it was put there in the 1940's it's the cars and what people use he said everything else is the same buildings that have been standing too long and too empty it's just he said it's an unpleasant place anyway these people are very fond of hurting each other, not all obviously, but they have a good amount of idiots here, you know, in the south you will always have a large majority of a city, they are good people, they are good family people .

They're nice to each other, but for some reason these towns always have these idiots that make the whole place look bad. Anyway, it sucks. They have 34 violent crimes per thousand residents in Estill, number two, Anniston, Alabama, our old friend, if that's right. I'm looking for some star sucking, look no further than Anniston Alabama, they appear on all these negative lists about small towns, not just mine, everyone's. I'm currently working on a list that's about cities that are losing people and may actually disappear in the next couple. three four decades Aniston is in this, I promise, no matter what the topic is, if you research worst city lists or something, Anacin will be somewhere in the top ten, so why don't we approach this a little differently? they know they're bad they know things are bad all the lists know they suck why don't we approach it today in a more supportive way so here we go they know what they're doing and they're motivated it's like they're on a mission or something , you go to look for a man and you see that they are in such bad condition that there is no point in only talking about the bad, come on everyone except Aniston, she sucks, her violent crime rate is exceptional, I mean come on, 37 violent crimes . per 1000 residents, I mean, that's some work, maybe next year they'll get 40mm.

I hope so, I don't really hope so, but still, number one, Kotzebue, Alaska. Kotzebue sits on a gravel spit at the end of the Baldwin Peninsula. in the Kotzebue Sound Kotzebue served as a commercial and gathering center for several communities in the region. There is a bay with three rivers flowing into it, so it made it easier for inland residents to reach the city, so it became a commercial center. valid reason to live here other than a court order to wear an ankle bracelet and judging by the statistics I would say there are a lot of those people so these are the things you can do if you visit Kotzebue Alaska and this is found on similar websites and travel sites.

They have a Cultural Arts Center, okay, that could be interesting fishing. I'm downstairs, they have a hot spring and a nature reserve both great and then you can finish your stay with a visit to the indigenous peoples cemetery in the center of the city. This large cemetery contains many decorative spirit houses that have been built over many of the graves here. You know nothing is more satisfying than after a long day of not working and then sitting on your porch having a drink, munching on whale blubber, and watching tourists stomp around everywhere. your relatives' graves hmm sounds like a good time when these people aren't trying to make a dime off the backs of their dearly departed apparently committing violent acts on each other and not all of this can be attributed to drinking Kotzebue Alaska is a humid community, this means you canbring alcoholic beverages into Kotzebue for consumption if they are in mislabeled containers and are within your monthly limit.

Here you have a monthly limit. Okay, it is a felony to manufacture, sell, possess or trade alcoholic beverages that you cannot. trade a beer for someone to fix a tire or something. I guess this year there are projected to be 121 violent crimes anyway. This city barely has 3,000 people, that is, approximately 40 for every thousand people in the city. I can't think of a reason to do it. visit this city above the Arctic Circle they have some wind farms okay I don't know stay away from Kotzebue Alaska and that should be pretty easy because it's a little hard to get there so those are my top 10 most violent cities in the United States for 2019 I hope you enjoyed it I hope you gained some information.
