26. Oklahoma – Muskogee East Side
Muskogee has long been associated with higher crime rates compared to other parts of Oklahoma. The area has faced challenges involving property crime, violent incidents, and economic decline tied to limited redevelopment and job growth. While larger cities like Oklahoma City and Tulsa often dominate crime discussions, smaller cities such as Muskogee reflect different structural issues. The East Side of Muskogee in particular has struggled with long-term stability and largely responsible for the city’s violent crime rate of 987 per 100k residents, making it one of the more consistently referenced areas in statewide comparisons. Its challenges are shaped more by economic conditions than by sudden or isolated crime patterns.
