* The overall rank was determined by the sum of the individual county ranks for each indicator. Each of the four indicators contributed equally to the overall rank. The top ten large central metropolitan counties are presented.
** Violent Crime Index (VCI) includes murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Adult arrest rates are per 100,000 persons age 18 and over in the population. Juvenile arrest rates are per 100,000 persons ages 10 through 17.
Caution: Data users are often cautioned against ranking of geographic areas, because the results may be misleading (e.g. see the caution for Crime in the United States 2006, ).
Notes:
The data for this analysis was based on 3,139 matched counties from the following sources: NCHS Urban-Rural Classification (2006), UCR county-level arrest estimates (2005), Small Area Poverty and Income Estimates (2005), and BLS Unemployment Statistics (2006).
For quality control purposes, this analysis was limited to only jurisdictions with UCR coverage indicators at or above 90%. This reduced the sample of “large central” metropolitan counties from 63 to 47.
The National Center for Health Statistics developed a 6-code "Urban-Rural Classification Scheme for Counties" in 2006. "Large Central Metro" counties are counties in a metropolitan statistical area of 1 million or more population:
1) that contain the entire population of the largest principal city of the metropolitan statistical area, or 2) whose entire population resides in the largest principal city of the metropolitan statistical area, or 3) that contain at least 250,000 of the population of any principal city in the metropolitan statistical area.
