Orlando ranks No. 1 in the country when it comes to the most-dangerous spring break destination, according to a new study.
An analysis conducted by Avvo, which offers free ratings and profiles for lawyers and doctors, found that the sunny Florida tourist attraction is followed by other hot spots such as Daytona Beach, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, West Palm Beach and South Padre Island.
Orlando is home to several famous resorts and theme parks, such as Disney World, Universal Studios and Wet’n Wild.
In compiling the list, Avvo evaluated 25 popular domestic spring break destinations based on a number of factors, including violent crime risk, overall crime rank as put together by the FBI, murder statistics and fatal car crashes.
Rounding out the top 10 are New Orleans, Panama City, Fla., Jacksonville and Miami.
“Spring break is a time for fun but you also have to be careful. Avvo’s mission is to help people make more informed decisions and where you go for spring break is an important one,” said Avvo CEO Mark Britton.
Ten of the 25 cities on the list are located in Florida, according to the analysis.
The list, released on Monday and in time for college students to start making spring break preparations, also includes Fort Lauderdale ranked 13th, followed by Lake Havasu and Key West.
Park City and Steamboat Springs, Colo., came in at 20th and 21st, respectively. Last on the 25-city list was Honolulu.
The week where college students are off during spring break varies from school to school and is typically sometime between mid-March and mid-April.
