Last Update: September 1, 2026
Kentucky, or the Commonwealth of Kentucky, its original name, is located in the United States’ south-central region. With over 4.4 million residents, it is the 26th most populous state. Its capital is Frankfurt, and major cities are Louisville and Lexington.
One of the nicknames of Kentucky is the Bluegrass State. This is because the Bluegrass Region, which has many fertile bluegrass pastures, lies in central Kentucky.
Kentucky is famous for bourbon, moonshine, horse racing, tobacco, bluegrass music, etc. But the economy of Kentucky covers many fields, such as the coal industry, automobile manufacturing, etc.
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.
