46. New Hampshire – Manchester
Manchester has faced more visible urban challenges compared to the rest of New Hampshire. The majority of the violent crime although at on 400 per 100k residents is largely due to the never-ending increase drug problem the city has been dealing with. While Manchester remains small compared to major U.S. cities, it is still the state’s primary urban center, it has neighborhood such as Rimmon Heights that reflect that concentration of activity. New Hampshire is widely considered one of the safest states in the country, so even localized issues become more noticeable. Rimmon Heights stands out mainly because of contrast rather than scale, showing how urban pockets exist even in low-crime states.
