Study: Oakland ranks among the least safe cities in America. Here's a look at how some other Bay Area cities fared in the analysis, which measured not only crime stats but weighed other risks.
The study also ranked San Francisco in the bottom half of its list, placing it as 136th safest city.
"Home & Community Safety," which was most heavily weighed, had almost 20 subcategories including the number of mass shootings in the city, the rates of homicides, assaults, rapes, and other crimes, traffic fatalities per capita, as well as the percentage of residents fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The third category of "Financial Safety" included a look at figures like a city’s unemployment, foreclosure, and poverty rates and took into account other money related classifications like debt-to-income ratio.
