50 ‘Most Dangerous’ Places to Live in the Hudson Valley

These are considered the 50 most dangerous places to live in the Hudson Valley. Do you agree?

2022 is here. As we anticipate an updated list in the near future we thought it would be interesting to look back at what Roadsnacks considered the most dangerous places in the Hudson Valley in 2021.

In earlier January of 2021 RoadSnacks released its "10 Most Dangerous Cities In New York For 2021" list.

RoadSnacks uses “data to create bite-sized snacks of shareable information about places and cities across the country.” The website is quick to add their “goal is to show you the real side of places that not everyone wants to hear.”

To craft the list, RoadSnacks used the FBI's most recent crime data. Using the FBI's crime stats the website ranked every city in New York with a population of over 5,000 based on violent crime and property crime per capita.

No part of the Hudson Valley cracked the top 10, but many cracked the top 200.

Newburgh, the City of Poughkeepsie, Monticello, Kingston, Port Jervis and the Town of Poughkeepsie all ranked in the top 40 most dangerous places to live.

Monticello, Newburgh and Poughkeepsie made another list from Roadsnacks about the "The 10 Worst Places To Live In New York For 2021."

Two Hudson Valley hometowns are among the "safest" in America.
