The following cities ranked among the top 10 most "unsafe" places in the U.S. during the holidays, according to new research from Vivint, a smart-home security company.

Researchers combined "property crime data, Google search trends and other security factors" to rank the 50 largest cities in the country in order by crime risk.

Those factors include data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), Google Trends searches related to holiday security, security features for Airbnb listings, registered Neighborhood Watch groups and National Insurance Crime Bureau statistics, according to Vivint.

Here are the top 10 . . . .

I’m glad to see the Vt cities on the list. Liberal Vermonters are very smug. Back in the 90s all white Vermont imported a lot of Somalis. I bet it’s biting them in a@@ now.

Interesting that if you have a Neighborhood Watch group, you’re less safe. According to Vivint.
I’m guessing that the cities with the highest subscription rates to their smart-home security are coincidentally the safest.

“For Seattle....you can generally draw a 5-mile circle from the Space Needle, with the first mile fairly intense on a place you want avoid”

Shame, within that mile is the Experience Music Project Museum. Of course I was there 13 years ago, I’m sure it has gone downhill big time since.

True.

“Now BURLINGTON I can understand. That’s where the university is.”

...and where public nudity is legal...

Nope.
