According to the FBI, Carbondale ranks as the 4th most dangerous city in Illinois and the 66th most dangerous city nationwide, based on crimes per 100,000 population. Neighborhood Scout lists all 100 cities ranked based on info gathered from FBI statistics. Though Carbondale is down a couple of spots from the 2013 list and you can argue that Neighborhood Scout is not the most reliable of sources, the figure is still a statistic that gets a lot of attention in the press and does not help advance Carbondale's image to those looking at going to school or locating a business here.
