Tucson Most, Oro Valley Least Dangerous Arizona Cities

The Orent Law Offices in Phoenix collected and analyzed 14 different metrics and determined that Tucson is the most dangerous city in Arizona. Oro Valley is the least dangerous city.

Orent “aimed to quantify which cities in Arizona (with populations over 10,000) are the safest and which are the most dangerous by looking at three key dimensions: crime, police investment, effective strength, and community socioeconomic factors.”
