Reply to comment by telmar25 in Columbia, Md. named 'safest city' for 5th year; Baltimore ranked 161 of 182 cities by f1sh98

All of the crime-related fields actually add up to over 50% of the weight for that section.

I do agree that it would be better to see a full report rather than summary statistics, however.

I hear you, it’s good that we are first in that section and probably indicates that we are doing something right with regard to crime. Still the point stands, about 25% or thereabouts of the weight of this overall ranking is about crime, and the WalletHub thing is kinda clickbaity and misleading.
