How does Granite compare to other US cities?

Here's how Granite stacks up against the full field of US cities (population 1,000+), computed live from Census and FBI data.

Household income 34% higher than other cities
Home value 11% pricier than other cities
Median rent 9% pricier than other cities
Safety 90% 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 Oklahoma alone, Granite ranks #11 of 203 Oklahoma 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 Granite against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Oklahoma only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
