MN native here. While those stats do seem to be right (citation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate_(2012) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by...) they are for the city of Minneapolis only.
The article focused on Minneapolis, but talked about the history of the whole Twin Cities region. And when you consider St. Paul and the whole region, I think it's a pretty safe area.
- coldpie 12y agoCities in Minnesota also don't annex neighboring cities, even if it makes sense. That results in a lot of small cities making up the metro area, as opposed to one large city. That can skew statistics, as Minneapolis proper makes up only a small part of our metro area.
