The Places In America With The Most Cases Of Human Trafficking

Just how common is human trafficking in the United States and where is it taking place? Along with Priceonomics customer, Geoffrey Nathan Law Offices.com we analyzed data from The National Human Trafficking Hotline organization on the number of reports it receives each year and their location.

While it's important to recognize that only a small fraction of actual human trafficking cases get detected and reported, the data set provides a glimpse into the prevalence of the crime.

These "Signals" have been distilled into around 45,000 distinct cases of human trafficking.

Likely, the number of cases stated above dramatically understates the magnitude of human trafficking in the United States.

What drives the prevalence of human trafficking in places like Washington DC and Nevada? The prostitution industry.

The top five cities in America for human trafficking reports are Washington DC, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, and Las Vegas.

While virtually all of the top 25 cities for human trafficking prevalence are large metropolises, the cities where human trafficking is less common tend to be smaller cities.
