How These City Grades Are Calculated

Each grade weighs a city's violent crime rate (70%) and property crime rate (30%) against the national averages, drawn from FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, Crime in the United States, Table 8 for 2024. Rates use (offenses ÷ population) × 100,000.

UCR participation is voluntary, so not every New Hampshire city reports every year, and small-population cities can show volatile rates where a single incident moves the per-capita figure sharply. Read the full methodology for the scoring formula and limitations.
