Not sure but I read where Baltimore city has more murders YTD than NYC.
Baltimore pop. ~600,000.
NYC pop. ~1.74 million.
New York City population is 8.4 million...
"If New York had endured the same murder rate, the city would have seen 2,874 murders already this year."
"Adjusted for population, Baltimore's murder rate through Aug. 19 is 34 per 100,000 people, while New York's is just 2.5 per 100,000."
" Chicago has seen the most killings of any city, with 284 so far this year. With a population of 2.7 million people, Chicago's homicide rate is about 10.4 per 100,000 people to date."
