A list of the 100 most dangerous cities in the U.S., has been released for 2014.

Some notable differences from the list compiled for the 2013 year include Knoxville, TN, a new addition at #100.

Bridgeport, CT jumps from #94 to #51.

Camden, NJ, which came in at #2 last year, now makes way for Flint, MI, last year’s #3.

But East St. Louis, IL remains #1,  while Chicago shockingly is missing from the top 100 altogether – a surprise given the city dominated headlines about gun violence throughout 2013.

A full list of cities can be found at NeighborhoodScout.com.

Research reveals the 100 most dangerous cities in America with 25,000 or more people, based on the number of violent crimes per 1,000 residents. Violent crimes include murder, forcible rape, armed robbery, and aggravated assault.
