I'm not quite sure what has been going on in Hilltop. The small town consists of 16 city blocks and apparently a lot of crime has been happening lately according to this crime index. The city is located about 149 miles south of Duluth.

For the cities around Duluth; Cloquet came in at 32 with a crime index of 1,432. Proctor was at 47 with 1,313. Hermantown was number 66 with 1,123. Lastly, the closest city near Duluth was Two Harbors at 167 with a 568 crime index.
