#1: Tolleson
Topping the list of Arizona's most dangerous cities is Tolleson—a small, historic city nestled in the West Valley near Phoenix. While neighboring municipalities like Avondale and Goodyear have seen major development, Tolleson has changed little over the last century, maintaining a more industrial and rural character.
Despite its small population, Tolleson has the highest property crime rate in the state, with 1 in every 10.9 residents reporting an incident. Common crimes include burglary, vehicle theft, and larceny.
Tolleson's Crime Statistics (2024):
- Violent Crime Rate: Approximately 13,374 per 100,000 residents
- Property Crime Rate: 6,275 per 100,000 residents
- Overview: Despite its small size, Tolleson experiences a high volume of both violent and property crimes.
#2: Globe
Originally founded as a mining camp in 1876, Globe is steeped in Old West history—one filled with stagecoach robberies, shootouts, outlaws, and lynchings. While its frontier days may be long gone, Globe hasn't fully escaped its violent past.
In fact, crime in Globe is on the rise, making it one of Arizona's most dangerous cities today. With limited economic growth and a relatively small population, this Gila County town struggles with high crime concentrations relative to its size.
Globe's Crime Statistics (2024):
- Violent Crime Rate: Approximately 9,200 per 100,000 residents
- Property Crime Rate: 5,500 per 100,000 residents
- Overview: This mining town consistently ranks high in both violent and property crime categories
#3: Page
Third on the list is Page, a small city near the Arizona/Utah border. Originally established as a temporary camp for construction workers, Page has become a self-sufficient city, benefiting from tourism generated by its proximity to various attractions and natural wonders.
While violent crime has fallen nearly 50% in the last couple of years, there's still a 1 in 95 chance of being a victim and a 5% chance of being a victim of property crime.
While it's not necessarily the safest city in Arizona, Page is a great place to visit if you're looking for something to do outdoors. Page is located in the center of "Canyon Country" and is a short drive from the Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion National Parks, Monument Valley and Canyon De Chelley.
Page's Crime Statistics (2024):
- Violent Crime Rate: Approximately 4,824 per 100,000 residents
- Property Crime Rate: 3,500 per 100,000 residents
- Overview: Known for its proximity to Lake Powell, Page also experiences high crime rates, particularly domestic violence and aggravated assault.
#4: Winslow
Winslow is the 4th most dangerous city in Arizona. Although the property crime rate has dropped nearly 35% from 2019 to 2020, there are 4,000 property crimes reported for every 100,000 residents. Violent crime is also subsiding, with residents having a 1 in 98 chance of being a victim.
Winslow isn't known for its wealth, either. According to the last census, the city's per capita income was $12,340 and around 20.9% of the population was living below the poverty line.
That being said, Winslow is a very charming city along Route 66. If you're interested in history, there's plenty to see— from the Arizona Meteor Crater to one of the largest and best-preserved collections of ancient petroglyphs in the world.

- Property Crime Rate: 4,000 per 100,000 residents

#5: Hollbrook
Situated in northeastern Arizona, Holbrook is renowned for its rich history and proximity to natural wonders like the Petrified Forest National Park. Established in the 1880s as a railroad stop, Holbrook earned a reputation as a Wild West town, once described as "too tough for women and churches" .
Hollbrook's Crime Statistics (2024):
