Fairbanks and Anchorage are among the "most dangerous cities" for women in the United States, an articles on the website of Forbes claims, quoting FBI crime statistics from metropolitan areas.

Anchorage is No. 2 and Fairbanks is No. 3 on the Forbes list.

"For a metro of just over 97,000, an incredibly high rate of rape (more than double the national metropolitan average) lands Fairbanks among the top three most dangerous cities for women in the United States at 191 reported rapes per 100,000 residents," the magazine says.
