Last Update: September 1, 2026
Minnesota is located in the northern part of the Midwest region of the United States. It has many lakes, hence its nickname Land of 10,000 Lakes. Its official motto is L’Étoile du Nord (Star of the North).
With over 5,5 million residents, Minnesota is the 22nd most populous state. An interesting fact about its population is that around 60% of Minnesotans live in the Twin City area, including Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The state’s capital is Saint Paul, but the largest city is Minneapolis, with around 400,000 people. These two cities are very close and represent the center of Minnesota’s economic, business, cultural, and political events. The rest of the state largely depends on agriculture, forestry, mining, and tourism.
Ranking Criteria
ElitePersonalFinance extracted the latest data from the FBI crime statistics in the United States. We took violent crime as the main criteria. To get our score, we used this formula:
Crime Score = ( Total Number of Violent Crimes / Population ) * 1,000
This way, safer cities got the lowest score, and those more vulnerable to crimes got higher scores.
The cities that did not report crimes to the FBI and those under 5,000 residents were not included in the list.
