You wouldn’t be wrong if you said that identity theft and fraud are more prevalent in urban areas. In fact, you can check our post on Safest US Cities by Identity Theft, which clearly confirms this point, especially if you compare the results with those that we provided for the Safest US States.
This is another post in the series of posts by ElitePersonalFinance in which we analyzed safety levels across the country. This time, we picked fraud in cities as our category.
Ranking Criteria
The data was collected from the Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Sentinel Network to assess cities’ fraud levels across the US.
The next step was to analyze the data and calculate the number of fraud complaints per 1,000 residents. Thus, the city with the ‘lowest score’ is the best in terms of fraud safety. To explain further, Arecibo, PR, scored 0.55. In other words, there were 0.55 fraud complaints per 1,000 residents in this city.
On the other hand, as the least safe city, Homosassa Springs scored 12, which means 12 complaints per 1,000 people in this city.
*Please note that not all the victims reported identity theft.
* *For more precise statistics, we analyzed metropolitan areas. Most of them have at least 100,000 residents, while a small number have 50,000 – 100,000.
