48. Maine – Lewiston
Lewiston is one of the most frequently discussed areas in Maine when it comes to concentrated urban challenges. It features dense housing, older infrastructure, and a higher proportion of lower-income households compared to surrounding parts of the state. These conditions have contributed to recurring concerns involving property crime, disorder, and socioeconomic strain. While Maine is widely considered one of the safest states in the country, Lewiston at a violent crime rate of 254 per 100k stands out due to the fact that it has increased by over 70% in the last 6 years.
