Here's how Evendale 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 Ohio alone, Evendale ranks #274 of 281 Ohio cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.
Each percentile compares Evendale against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Ohio only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
Ohio-relative analysis
Among the 1,164 Ohio cities PlainCities tracks with reported median home value data, Evendale ranks #57 - the 95th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Evendale 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 Ohio only, not a livability score. See the methodology for the source and calculation.
