How does Fredonia compare to other US cities?

Fredonia measured against every US city with 1,000+ residents, computed live from the same Census and FBI data shown throughout this page.

Household income 36% higher than other cities
Home value 58% pricier than other cities
Median rent 79% pricier than other cities
Safety 98% safer than other cities

"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 Arizona alone, Fredonia ranks #1 of 61 Arizona cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Fredonia against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Arizona only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.

Arizona-relative analysis

Median Gross Rent is Fredonia's strongest outlier among Arizona cities

Among the 394 Arizona cities PlainCities tracks with reported median gross rent data, Fredonia ranks #1 - the 93rd percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Fredonia only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
