Three of the four U.S. cities on the list are heavily majority black according to 2010 U.S. census data (wiki). St. Louis is roughly half black.
Detroit 82.7%.
New Orleans 60.2%
Baltimore 63.3%
St. Louis 46.9%
I read somewhere that once the white population of a given city dwindles below a certain percentage, non-white crime soars. If anyone can find that study, it would be much appreciated.

The thesis of that study was that whites are a stabilizing element in a racial stew pot. Below a certain percentage, there comes instability.
People’s race is not the causality here. The study plays right in the hands of liberals as they can now point to the study as overt racism. What does race have anything to do with behavior?
I’d say it’s a combination of one-party rule and application of socialism (Democrats in this instance). They of course also radicalized racism within black people so that they don’t get blamed for the horrific results of their policies.
Look at Venezuela. The same economic disaster and criminality has happened to a very rich country, and it’s not a black problem.
