"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.
Each percentile compares Belgrade against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Nebraska only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
Nebraska-relative analysis
Among the 450 Nebraska cities PlainCities tracks with reported median gross rent data, Belgrade ranks #184 - the 0th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Belgrade 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 Nebraska only, not a livability score. See the methodology for the source and calculation.
