[N. Theknow]

Notice that of the 5 liberal cities, total crime and violent crime outdo property crime, except for Beserkly.

And the opposite is true for the 5 conservative cities, with the exception of Abilene, where property crime outdoes the other two.

Might one surmise that in the conservative cities and Beserkly, property is actually owned.

While in the other Hell-Holes, assisted living and government housing are the norm?

It has no significant old part of the town as it just growed

Except the Black (Douglass) and Mexican areas on the east side.

Some of the credit should go to the aggressive police force.

This is probably meaningless of course, but San Francisco has 6% blacks and 15% Hispanic, and Dallas has 26% blacks and 36% Hispanic.

Crime statistics should be based on crimes *per-capita*. In other words the number of crimes committed per 100,000 population.

This is done for a good reason. It's why the FBI uses it.

Question:

Would you rather live in city of 1 million that had 300 murders, or a city of 200,000 that had 275 murders?

Feel free to answer the question.

Your assertion doesn’t hold much water. My city - OKC - capitol of the reddest of the red states has stats that are more than twice the national average in all the categories according to the website you linked to.
