Washington
With a rate of 453.6 robberies per 100,000 people, Washington manages to stay pretty high on the list of the most dangerous states in the U.S. But one thing is interesting to point out: Olympia, the capital of the state, doesn’t have a high property crime rate. Neither lives in Seattle. The thieves aren’t brave enough to “adventure” themselves in the big cities; they prefer smaller ones, and the most targeted ones are Tukwila and Spokane.

Alaska
Although Alaska is among the states with a small population (731,000), there are even more robberies here than in Washington, for example. Unfortunately, here, the citizens face around 487.2 robberies per 100,000 people, which is pretty high, I’d say! Sheesh, I wouldn’t like to live there, for sure.
The good thing is that the numbers dropped a bit in the past few years, maybe because of the pandemic, because everybody was forced to spend more time indoors, making it a bit harder to rob a house full of people.

There is no such thing as a safe State anymore, be vigilant and wary and cautious on the neighborhood that you are in and don’t obviously go to unsafe and unfamiliar place’s specially @ night
Fortunately, the state in which I live is not on your list. However, when I got to the last page, I was dumbstruck: I was BORN in New Mexico! I never lived there, though, because soon after I was born my parents moved to California! That said, this article was one of the most interesting ones I’ve seen online, well worth the short reading-time! Thank you!
Is it a coincidence that arizona texas and new mexico are all border states, And nevada is pretty close. Just Asking.
They are called Mexicans and Chicanos! My car was stolen ended up in a Mexican immigrant neighborhood. My girlfriend’s car was stolen it ended up in another Mexican neighborhood. My car has been broken into once in a Black neighborhood and three times in Mexican neighborhoods. Please Mr. President Trump get them out of here put all criminals (white, black, latin and Asian) in prisons on an island and their families too. Enough is enough.
One thing I noticed is that four of these six states are in the Southwest (Nevada borders Arizona). Also, Washington has liberal views, and probably welcomes illegal aliens.
This could suggest TWO things. One, that illegals are responsible for a significant part of the burglaries, or TWO, that because of their status (living under the radar), illegals are a common TARGET of burglars because they are less likely to have home security, or even to report such crimes when THEY are the victims. Further, it could also be the case that the criminal element within the illegal community PREYS ON their own — other people here illegally.
I could easily be wrong, but looking at the geography shown in this article, I wonder if any deeper studies considering the above perspective have been done. Is is possible that doing so might help explain why these particular areas seem to have more crimes of this nature than the rest of the country.
Whenever catholic majorites live,
rob danger will increase.
