Here's how St. Florian stacks up against the full field of US cities (population 1,000+), computed live from Census and FBI data.
"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.
A national percentile can hide a lot of local variation: narrowed to Alabama alone, St. Florian ranks #147 of 222 Alabama cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.
Each percentile compares St. Florian against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Alabama only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
Alabama-relative analysis
Among the 517 Alabama cities PlainCities tracks with reported median home value data, St. Florian ranks #34 - the 93rd percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares St. Florian only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
Ranked by raw value (highest first); a higher rank is not automatically "better" for every measure, see each metric's own context above. This is a comparison within Alabama only, not a livability score. See the methodology for the source and calculation.
