Take A Look At The 8 Most Dangerous Places In Wyoming, According To Statistics

Have you ever wondered which cities ranked the most dangerous in the state of Wyoming? Here is a list of the 8 most dangerous places in Wyoming based on statistics from AreaVibes. This list is based on the overall crime rate, including violent and property, in relation to the rest of the states in the U.S. These towns are rated from the highest to the lowest. Of course, you have to take into account that Wyoming has a much smaller population than the other states as well and that these rankings are based on per capita - so overall Wyoming is still a fairly safe place to reside or visit compared to other areas of the country.

1. Riverton

Riverton, known as the Rendezvous City, has an overall crime rate of 39% higher than the national average.

2. Purple Sage

Purple Sage's overall crime rate is 11% higher than the national average - though the population of just 535 people may skew that statistic.

3. Yoder

Yoder is a small community located in Goshen County. The overall crime rate is 11% higher than the national average.

4. Granger

Granger's overall crime rate is 7% higher than the national average, though it's still considered a very safe place to reside.

5. Manderson

Manderson's overall crime is 6% higher than the national average. Watch out for them cowboys!

6. Frannie

Frannie, the biggest little town in Wyoming, has an overall crime rate is 5% higher than the national average.

7. Reliance

Reliance's overall crime rate is 3% higher than the national average, though most people who live here have never been bothered by another soul.

8. Slater

Slater's overall crime rate is 1% above the national average, but with a population of just under 80 people, don't think you can commit a crime without being run out of town.

Most of these towns have a very small population. Even so, it's interesting to see how these towns in Wyoming rank per capita compared to the rest of the nation.

Despite having plenty of towns with crime rates higher than the national average, Wyoming is still the best state in the country if you're looking for a change of scenery.
