## Method

Every row is a published recorded incidents per 100,000 residents observation measured in incidents per 100,000, ranked lowest first. The values were observed between 2023 and 2024. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify.
