Here's how Coulterville 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 Illinois alone, Coulterville ranks #77 of 455 Illinois cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.
Each percentile compares Coulterville against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Illinois only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
Illinois-relative analysis
Among the 1,336 Illinois cities PlainCities tracks with reported median gross rent data, Coulterville ranks #935 - the 0th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Coulterville 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 Illinois only, not a livability score. See the methodology for the source and calculation.
