Memphis, Tennessee: The Most Dangerous City in the US

Memphis, the largest city in Tennessee, located in the southwestern corner of the state, is full of heart and soul as well as a plethora of cultural and historical treasures. It is a fantastic city with many attractions and strong music, art, and cuisine culture. Although it has attempted to shed its other reputation as a deadly city, it has failed to do so.
If you are contemplating a trip to Memphis, watch this video more than once to determine why it is the most dangerous city in the United States. We dug deep into the data and crime reports and talked to inhabitants of the city to give you a more accurate picture of how safe the city is.
Memphis Crime Stats
First and foremost, we need to tell or remind you how we arrived at our conclusion. The violent crime rate is determined by dividing the number of recorded offenses by the entire population. The result is then multiplied by 100,000 to get the overall rate per 100,000.
Memphis is not a safe location to go to or live in. According to statistics, it routinely rates among the most hazardous cities in the United States. The FBI crime data reported in 2019 that Memphis has the fourth-highest rate of violent crime with 2,003.32 crimes per 100,000 population. It also has the third-highest rate of property crime in the country with a 6,297.83 per 100,000 population.
The nationwide rate of violent crime is 366.7 per 100,000 inhabitants, while the rate of property crime is 2,109.9 per 100,000 persons, according to FBI statistics. However, the rate is more than three times higher in Memphis than the national average.
The crime rates in Memphis are comparable to the worst of crimes in Tennessee, St. Louis, Nashville, Detroit, Baltimore, and Milwaukee. Homicides, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults are examples of such violent crimes often witnessed in this city at high rates. All of this makes Memphis the most dangerous city in the US.
Memphis Murder Stats
In 2020, 334 killings were recorded in Memphis, representing a stunning 74.8 percent increase over the previous year's total of 191. The killings registered in Memphis are the highest number of homicides ever recorded in the city, breaking the previous 228 homicides record set in 2016.

Memphis had a murder rate of 52.44 per 100,000 population in 2020, confirming that it is one of the most violent cities in the United States. It shares this description with cities such as St. Louis and Baltimore which are also sources of worry.
On an encouraging note, while Memphis witnessed a record number of killings in 2020, most other crime indicators, such as robbery, assault, burglary, and theft, dropped.
Is Downtown Memphis safe?
During the day, downtown Memphis is a pretty secure location to be while visiting. Police are well represented and the presence of the Blue Suede Brigade provides additional protection and assurance of safety. The situation may change late at night when there are fewer people around.
Although you may see homeless individuals and aggressive panhandlers when touring Downtown, they are mostly harmless and pose no threat to visitors. We advise that you stay in the major sections of Downtown and avoid venturing outside of that region since it may get dangerous outside of those areas.
