Sioux Falls, SD (KELO AM) - Sioux Falls has made another top 10 list, however this one is nothing to be proud of.
The web site 24/7 Wall Street has named us the third fastest growing crime city in the nation in their annual ranking.
The ranking took into account a four year boom in violent crimes per 100,000 residents (from 215 to 364) and the city's growing drug problem (meth seizures quadrupled from 2015 to 2016). One bright spot the article did quote was the city's higher-than-normal household income and low unemployment rate.
Here's a look at the top five on the list:
1. Monroe, Louisiana
2. Missoula, Montana
3. Sioux Falls, SD
4. San Luis Obispo-Paso Robles-Arroyo Grande, California metro area
5. Odessa, Texas
