Ohio is located in the Midwest region of the United States, within the region of Great Lakes. Its nickname is the Buckeye State, after its well-known Buckeye trees. Ohio is home to over 11 million residents, which makes it the 7th most populous US state.
Cleveland is the best-known city in Ohio, probably because it is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Cleveland Cavaliers. The state capital and the most populous city is Columbus. Cincinnati is another great city in Ohio. It is well-known for ATP Cincinnati World Tour Masters 1000 Tournament, played in nearby Mason, and gathers the best tennis players on the planet in August each year.
All in all, Ohio is a very safe state, and you will be able to conclude this by comparing crime scores in the top 30 places in Ohio to that of the safest places in other states. You will see it is considerably lower than in the safest places in some other states.
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 10,000 residents were not included in the list.
