   Top 10 Most Dangerous Cities in Oregon   
   Oregon’s risk map is wider than many think. Below is a brief lead-in   
   before we dive into each city. Violent assaults, theft rings, and chronic   
   car break-ins push crime far outside Portland’s city limits. Rural highway   
   towns, college hubs, and coastal ports all appear on the most dangerous   
   cities in Oregon list. Let’s look at the numbers city by city.   
      
   1. Portland   
   Portland’s crime rate is 66.9 per 1,000 residents, with violent crime at   
   7.2 and property crime at 59.8. Motor vehicle theft sits at 13.4 per   
   1,000—nearly four times the national median. Downtown, St. Johns, and the   
   East Portland corridor see the most police calls. Homicides dropped 8   
   percent in 2024, yet burglary and theft still climb in inner-east blocks.   
   If you live here, lock up early and park in a garage when you can.   
      
   2. Coos Bay   
   This coastal port posts Oregon’s second-highest total crime rate—64.8 per   
   1,000. Violent offenses reach 9.8, double the state average. Property   
   crime hits 55.1, and car theft risk is 1 in 264. Downtown bars, the Empire   
   district, and harbor parking lots record frequent fights and smash-and-   
   grabs. Police blame drug trafficking along U.S. 101 for the surge.
