In fact MSM functionaries will express their puzzlement that “even though the crime rate has gone down the prison population has risen,” in almost exactly these words.

Criminals have to live somewhere. Generally they tend to concentrate in areas where they can exist with others of like mind, and where their operations are tolerated.

Agreed. I think this is based on rate of murder, not numbers of murders. It is likelihood of being murdered, based upon population size.
To: shrinkermd
Factor out a criminal background or close association and these figures drop through the floorboards for the vast majority of folks. Dave & Sue from the burbs or any other middle-American families have little to nothing to fear from what amounts to RATs (or RAT material) killing RATs.
Of course, crime stats in the mouths of bloviating media swine are handy tools for driving the lemming herds.
To: Aussiebabe
You are correct. My husband is from St. Louis and the boundaries were set at the time of the Civil War by the Missouri Constitution. That is why the population of St. Louis is only something like 353 thousand, but the metro area with suburbs is 2.8 million. So many times statistics on St. Louis only account for this smaller, poorer section of St. Louis.That's a big fudge factor in D.C.'s rankings as well.

I had almost given up. I almost ran out of comments and then the truth was revealed. Almost all of the cities mentioned have a majority population of Amish and they are all democrats

I am gonna guess..Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love.
I would put DC in at the top as well.
Maybe Trenton NJ?

Cincinnati and St. Louis are on another current FR thread as two of the top ten cities to live well in the US.
Will the MSM ever put down the crack pipe?

We have maybe upwards of 38.0M illegals now - how does that number fit into the mix? If the number is too high a percentage for that city and might reflect poorly, does somebody say, “Oh yeah, we have to increase the population by X which is close to the number of illegals ‘they’ say we have” so that drives the % of crimes down??

Interesting that only one (N.O.) is a southern city. I wonder how they break down in terms of legalized concealed carry? Seems like way back before Concealed Carry (BCC?) Dallas was prominent on this list.
