My uncle passed this to me. Westminster #9? I know it is getting worse, but dang. I know it is from a home security company, but they claim to use the FBI data.

Surprise, that suitland and capital heights did not make the list. I would not walk at night through an apartment complex in adelphi, md. The homeland of MS13. Maybe that is hyattsville though...

Compiled of "violent" crime rates. That's why OC is #2...drunken altercations. :sad20:

Cherry picking stats to make places seem worse than they are. Must be a liberal owned company.

Ha, I think we're considered part of Baltimore...... #1

Not the first time we've seen this. It's hard to forget a list that's as bass ackwards as this one.

Hell, you could fill that list just with places in Prince George's county.

So many from Catonsville. Wish I knew that before I moved to Columbia.

Someone needs to talk to the editor about time management, because too much time was spent on this.

1. Baltimore.
2-10: PG County cities.

I don't know. Westminster is pretty bad now. I saw some jaywalkers yesterday. I was going to do a felony type citizens arrest, but my song was on the radio, and by the time it was over, I had lost the suspects.

Vile Shadow · Dec 20, 2014

Jaywalkers? What are those?

Blue Jays with no wings? :innocent0

Yes, most violent crimes there people either know each other or are drunken altercations where for the most part, both parties are to blame. We have a place there since 2003 and never been any issues I could not just walk away from cause I had nothing really to defend.

I believe they changed laws there so that assault or is it verbal threads of assult is only arrestable if there is a police witness or something cause they got tired of getting so many calls. Just leave the drunkards alone and your fine. But don't do anything stupid.

There's another reason OC is being ranked so high- Take note that the cities are ranked as to crimes per 100,000 residents. OC only has 7100+ residents, but there may well be 300,000+ visitors during the summer at any given time with an estimated 8 million per year. If you averaged out summer crime over the 300k visitors rather than the 7100+ residents, crime would actually be pretty moderate....despite the number of drunken episodes. While Baltimore, for example, has a fair number of visitors, the population there at any given time is mostly the 600,000+ actual residents.

Just avoid drugs/drunks, whores and thugs.

llkoolkeg · Dec 21, 2014

This site said much the same=>http://www.areavibes.com/westminster-md/best-places-to-live/

I imagine the dumpier areas off Center Street have dragged the overall rating down.

It listed Sykesville, Hampstead and Taneytown as more "livable" nearby options with less crime.

Baltimore county gets a pass due to no "cities" in Baltimore county.

The list is a quirk of Maryland. It only has 157 municipalities, 39 of which are greater than 5000. Places like Catonsville, Towson, Bethesda, Ellicott City would not show up in the list because they are unincorporated parts of a county.

DanGuy48 · Dec 21, 2014

Frederick, Md is Maryland's second largest city, IIRC, and wasn't on the list. I credit that to the city having good employment, a smaller than normal liberal contingent, and a great Sheriff's department., he doesn't let illegals get away with shit here.
