Louisiana ranks as one of the most fun and exciting places to visit and live in the United States, however, at the same time the state has been ranked again and again as one of the most dangerous places in all of America. The most dangerous cities in Louisiana are all in the most dangerous state in America, making you take a second glance at some of these places.
Crime is a serious problem in many jurisdictions, and surprisingly, New Orleans is not the most dangerous place to live in the state. These crime rates were taken from FBI statistics that Roadsnacks calculated for the year 2021. The updated 2022 list of the most dangerous cities in Louisiana is available at Roadsnacks, where you will find slight differences between the two lists. We have updated each city in this list that is no longer considered a top ten.
Crime rates listed here were determined by adding up all crimes reported in a particular jurisdiction, dividing by the population of that place, and multiplying by 1000. Towns with a population under 2500 were taken out of this calculation. Of course, even places with crime issues have beautiful aspects, so we added a reminder of some of the more pleasant features of each place here.
Well, folks, the numbers don’t lie. To find out how we determined these rankings, visit this website from Roadsnacks.net.
