Each year, the FBI publishes crime data across America. This allows you to make lists of the most dangerous cities. In this publication you will find a list of the most potentially dangerous places in the Empire State for 2020. This publication writes Only in your state.
- Buffalo
The most dangerous in the state of New York in 2020 is considered Buffalo. Last year, this city with a population of more than 258 inhabitants was in second place with the most dangerous places. Here 000 violent crimes per 1042 thousand inhabitants take place.
- Niagara Falls
Despite the popularity of the American Falls (it is the second largest of the three falls, collectively known as Niagara Falls on the Niagara River), this is hardly a safe place to visit.
Yes, it did not top the list, but it is really dangerous. With a population of more than 48 thousand inhabitants, the city where Niagara Falls is located has seen more than 4068 crimes against property per 100 thousand inhabitants.
- Binghamton
This place takes the same position in the ranking of dangerous places as last year.
Thus, Binghamton is still the third most dangerous city in New York State. With a population of more than 44 thousand inhabitants, this city is the second most dangerous in terms of crimes against property - 4218 crimes per 100 thousand inhabitants.
- Chenectady
This city has radically changed its position in the list of the most dangerous places in New York State. He moved from 11th to 4th position in this anti-rating. If you happen to become residents of this place with a population of more than 66 thousand inhabitants, then you have a 5 percent chance of becoming a victim of a crime against property. Schenectady's violent crime rate is also reported to be quite high.
- Rochester
According to the latest FBI data, Rochester is the 5th most dangerous city in all of New York. More than 207 thousand residents call Rochester their home. True, it is worth noting that in the city the number of crimes against property has decreased by 1000. So the situation in this place is gradually improving, the source said.
- Watertown
According to the FBI, in the north, off the shores of Lake Ontario and some of New York’s most scenic areas, the residents of Watertown may be too boring in their secluded town.

One of the smallest cities in the state of New York, unfortunately, has become even more dangerous compared to last year, when it took 10th place in anti-rating. According to the data, the residents of Watertown have 1 out of 145 chances to become a victim of a violent crime.
- Albany
Albany has not changed his position in anti-rating compared to last year.
It is considered the 7th most dangerous city in New York State. Almost 100 thousand people live here. Although the rating of the city may not have changed compared to last year, the crime rate here has continued to decline over the past years. This gives hope that Albany will become even less dangerous in the future.
- Johnson City
Another city that has seen a decline in crime rates is Johnson City. It was three places lower than last year, when it was ranked 5th in the ranking of the most dangerous cities in New York State.
This smallest town, which got into the top 10 dangerous places, has seen many crimes against property: 4133 per 100 thousand inhabitants. This makes him the third most dangerous offender in terms of property crimes throughout New York.
- Utica
This city has risen in the ranking of dangerous places compared to last year. Earlier, Utica was considered the 16th in the list of dangerous cities in the state, but today it occupies the 9th position.
About 60 thousand people live here. According to the latest FBI data, life in this city is only getting worse. So, in 2018, the residents of Utica had 1 out of 158 chances to become a victim of a crime.
- Syracuse
The last city on our list was named the 10th most dangerous in the entire Empire State as of 2020. More than 143 thousand people live here. Fortunately for them, violent crime in the city is steadily declining. Unfortunately, due to the fact that Syracuse has such a large population and so many crimes against property, he still managed to enter the top ten most dangerous cities in New York State.
