24. Montana – South Side (Billings)
Billings is Montana’s largest city, and within it, the South Side tends to show more visible crime pressure than surrounding residential areas. Issues like theft, assaults, and drug-related activity have appeared more frequently here compared to quieter parts of the state. Montana overall is relatively low in crime, so it surprises a lot of people seeing where it ranks with a violent crime rate of 1,054 per 100k residents. The South Side reflects how population density and city services naturally concentrate both opportunity and risk in one area. While not extreme by national standards, it remains one of the most discussed parts of Montana when looking at localized safety concerns within an otherwise rural state.
