Baltimore, MD - April 22, 2025 - Baltimore is no longer among the most dangerous places in the United States, according to U.S. News & World Report.
The digital media company released its Most Dangerous Places in the U.S. in 2024-2025 list, and despite being a typical entrant among the Top 25, Baltimore was not included in the list this year.
The list is compiled based on each city's murder and property crime rates per 100,000 people, as the company notes that crime rate can be one of the deciding factors of where families choose to live.
At the top of the list is Memphis, Tennessee, followed by St. Louis, Missouri, and Detroit, Michigan.
There are no Maryland cities included in this year's list.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott noted Baltimore's lack of inclusion on the list during his State of the City Address on Monday night.
"Baltimore, for the first time in a long time, is not on the list," Scott said during his address. "But, this is not a moment for celebration. This is progress, but we still have more work to do."
