What’s The Most Dangerous City In Nevada?

That title goes to Winnemucca, which surprisingly beats out bigger cities like Reno and Las Vegas. Despite being much smaller in size, it has the highest rate of violent and property crimes per capita in the state.

Las Vegas and Reno may get most of the attention when it comes to crime, but places like Elko, West Wendover, and Carlin prove that danger isn’t just a big-city problem in Nevada.
