Western states and metropolitan states (such as New York State) usually show the highest property crime rate. The summary table shows the states with high crime rates (high or low). In countries with the lowest interest rates, nodes in the metropolitan area are often short and California, New York, and Maryland are the highest states among multiple crime categories.
