DENVER — A study by RoadSnacks.net ranked the most dangerous cities in Colorado.

RoadSnacks looked three years of reporting from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, which comprises the number of property crimes and violent crimes in each city per year.

Violent crimes are defined as rapes, murders, robberies and aggravated assaults.

Cities with a population of 5,000 people or more as of 2013 were analyzed, and there was a heavier emphasis on 2013 reporting numbers.
