Dangerous

St. Louis has not just topped the major Baseball league, but also topped the list for being the most dangerous city to live in the United States.

It’s not a big surprise considering that it has ranked among the top 10 for years now, and with the crime rate surging by nearly 20% since 2004, it has finally reached the top.

The other regulars, Detroit MI, Camden NJ, Birmingham AL also feature in the list.

For a full list of cities ranked from the safest to the most dangerous, check out the rankings on USA Today.
