Sioux Falls is still 12.5% below the national average crime rates. Here's a comparison with some other metros within a day's drive:
City | Rank | Score (% above or below nat'l crime rate) |
Madison (WI) | 99 | –31.0 |
Cedar Rapids | 123 | –20.0 |
Lincoln | 134 | –13.1 |
Sioux Falls | 136 | –12.5 |
Sioux City | 140 | –12.1 |
Fargo | 149 | –7.8 |
Davenport | 221 | 31.2 |
Des Moines | 236 | 37.0 |

St. Paul | 298 | 74.7 |
Minneapolis | 353 | 127.5 |
Kansas City | 380 | 186.01 |
And now for your daily paradigm-buster: Remember last year when Senator Thune made some silly comment about how Central Park would be safer with some gun-toting Sioux Falls tourists to keep the peace? Golly, they must have gone there: New York City is ranked 132nd safest, better than Sioux Falls at 14.5% below the national crime rate average. Go figure!
