The highest property crime rate belongs to Memphis, Tennessee, with 34.4 incidents per 100 residents and losses of more than $585 million over the five years studied.
Portland, Oregon (29.6) is second-worst for property crimes per capita, while third place goes to Oakland, California (28.1).
Oakland residents also suffered highest value of property stolen per person, at $1,257.38.
