BALTIMORE (WMAR) — Out of all the cities in America, you're most at risk of getting robbed in Baltimore.

This is according to a newly released study by ADT.

The statistics were compiled from the FBI's 2017 crime data analysis.

ADT included all U.S. cities with a population over 20,000 and calculated the robberies per capita based on which city had the most robberies in each state.

In 2017 -- 319,356 robberies were reported across the nation, which is a 28% decrease dating back to 2008.
