Safety has become a buzzword this year due to the rise in violent crime reported in major U.S. cities. If you live in Louisiana, you might be wondering how your city fares when it comes to crime.
SafeWise recently released their annual Safest Cities report for the state of Louisiana. You might be surprised at the list based on what you know about where you live.
The report says that crime overall has plummeted in Louisiana for 2021, but when it comes to gun violence, the numbers have actually doubled. According to SafeWise, here is the top 10:
1. Addis
2. Harahan
3. Youngsville
4. Mandeville
5. Tallulah
6. Westwego
7. Rayne
8. Scott
9. Carencro
10. Kenner
SafeWise says it arrived at the data by calculating crime rates for every Louisiana city that met its population threshold, based on the state’s median population.
New Orleans is one of those cities that you can get lost in once you take the time to explore it. As the former capital of Louisiana, New Orleans is one of the most eclectic and eccentric cities in the world.
One of the things that makes the place special is the people, which are eager to show you a good time via parties and authentic New Orleans cuisine.
