These 7 Most Dangerous Cities in Ohio Give the State a Bad Name

Whitehall

This is perhaps the least populous city in the state and also the most notorious when it comes to crimes. With a population of less than 19,000, you can imagine that it should be easy to control. Sadly, it isn’t. It has consistently ranked on top on the list of the most dangerous cities in the state for several years. It ranked 9 in violent crimes and 3rd in property crimes. This is a lower ranking compared to other cities, but this is a very small city. Therefore, those numbers are shocking. If there is a positive thing though, it is the fact that the numbers are getting better in recent years. Both the local and federal government have done a lot to ensure that the situation does not get any worse for the residents of the city.
