"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 Minnesota alone, Deephaven ranks #50 of 229 Minnesota cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.
Each percentile compares Deephaven against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Minnesota only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
Minnesota-relative analysis
Among the 784 Minnesota cities PlainCities tracks with reported bachelor's degree or higher data, Deephaven ranks #3 - the 100th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Deephaven 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 Minnesota only, not a livability score. See the methodology for the source and calculation.
