Here's how Luxemburg 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.
Zoom in to just Wisconsin and the picture shifts: Luxemburg ranks #17 of 202 Wisconsin cities by lowest crime rate, a different read than the national percentile above.
Each percentile compares Luxemburg against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Wisconsin only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
Wisconsin-relative analysis
Among the 761 Wisconsin cities PlainCities tracks with reported bachelor's degree or higher data, Luxemburg ranks #184 - the 76th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Luxemburg 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 Wisconsin only, not a livability score. See the methodology for the source and calculation.
