HomeSnacks: Top 25 Safest and Least Safe Illinois Cities

Using the FBI’s most recent Uniform Crime Report statistics, the website Homesnacksranked the safest cities in Illinois by looking at the number of reported violent crimes and property crimes per capita in towns with more than 5,000 people.

From Homesnacks on its methodology:

For example, there were a total of 99 crimes committed in Campton Hills which had a reported population of 11,351. That means the number of crimes per capita is 0.00872 which translates into a 1 in 115 chance of being the victim of a crime.

We only looked at cities that have populations of more than 5,000 people reported to the FBI in 2014. This left us with a total of 202 places in Illinois to rank.

Here are the 25 safest and least safe cities from Homesnack’s ranking, along with the total number of violent crime and property crime offenses reported to the FBI in 2014.
