Ranking The Top 10 Most Dangerous Locations In Delaware

Delaware holds the title as the second smallest state in the country with nearly one million residence.  The only state smaller than the first state is Rhode Island to our North.

The folks over at Roadsnacks compiled a list, ranking the top 10 most dangerous locations in each state.  Using data from the FBI’s latest crime report for violent crimes as well as property crimes for each Delaware location with a population of at least 2000 residents, to make the list.

While much of Delaware’s crime is occurring in our two largest cities of Dover and Wilmington, the rest of the state is contributing to our rankings as well.

If you’re looking to move to Delaware, or may be looking to relocate to another part of the state, you might want to take this into consideration and do your own research.  You can read the full study here.  You may also be interested in the best public schools and the best private schools here in the First State.
