How Sales Tax is Calculated. If an item is subject to sales tax in the state to which the order is shipped, tax is generally calculated on the total selling price of each individual item.
CQ Press recently released their âCity Crime Rankings 2015: Crime in Metropolitan Americaâ in which Troy is ranked as the 1st overall safest city in Michigan and 23rd overall safest city in America, regardless of population size. Four other cities in Michigan made the Top 100 list: 23 â Troy. 29 â Canton Township.
For cities of 500,000 or more people, here's the score: Safest city was Honolulu, HI, followed by 2. New York, NY. El Paso, TX was 3rd, San Jose 4th, Austin 5th, San Diego sixth, Seattle 7th, and Los Angeles 8th safest. California ranks three out of the top 8, which isn't too bad. Bad cities (unsafe) brought Detroit in first place, followed by Baltimore, Memphis, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Dallas. Note: This chart below is from 2005.
