America's Most Dangerous Cities (chart)
Statista ^ | 7/22/2017 | statista

Posted on 08/28/2017 2:26:54 PM PDT by freedumb2003

Given that 2016 was the worst year for homicides in nearly two decades in Chicago, it comes as little surprise that the city has a reputation as one of the most violent places in the United States. Last year, there were 762 murders, 3,550 shooting incidents and 4,331 shooting victims with an average of 12 people shot every single day. In fact, the Windy City experienced more murders than New York and Los Angeles combined last year with the number of homicides there since 2001 eclipsing U.S. war dead in Iraq and Afghanistan by late November.

Even though it had more murders than any other U.S. city last year, is Chicago's violent reputation entirely justified? According to nonprofit news outlet The Trace, Chicago is actually far behind other major U.S. cities in homicides per 100,000 residents. It found that between 2010 and 2015, New Orleans had a homicide rate of 46.9 per 100,000 inhabitants compared to just 16.4 in Chicago. As bad a problem as Chicago has on its hands, this metric does show that many other cities actually have higher levels of violence.

All ran by good ol’ socialists. Every liberal idea every imagined has been enacted in these cities and look what you get.

These statistics may change what with that crazy new group PROFA attacking President Trump supporters who are innocently attending presidential rallies.

This chart is the total from 2010 until 2015. It includes a few years before the killings got outrageous, and it doesn't include 2016. I doubt there's any argument that Chicago is getting far more dangerous every year.

This isn't a fake statistic. It's a rigged statistic.

Someone should take a map of all the high crime areas of the Us and overlay it with all the areas that voted for Hillary. I bet they would match up almost perfectly.

I never understood Tulsa.

Ever since the Outsiders, how does a small city in the middle of Oklahoma cause trouble?

I see that Pittsburgh is jumping WAY up in the rankings thanks to Uber-Lib Mayor Bill Peduto. Nice job!

It all them dang Confederate Statues.

100 year old statues of dead white people are responsible for the crime, violence and murders.

Right?

How about the ones listed where legal carry is allowed?

NYC isn’t on there either. It’s WRONG, the illegal policy of taking our second amendments rights away, but it’s not listed here.

Still some residual effect from Rudy and even Bloomberg was tough on crime. Getting worse under deblasio but still much better than the 90s before rudy.

The Tulsa Race riots of 1921 have simmered down. But still simmering.

Tulsa? Really? I mean are the the remnants of the Native American tribes on the war path again?

The same way the others did; the per 100,000 population metric.
Those are cold and impersonal. There are one or two deaths daily, many "stolen car" wrecks/deaths, shootings, dui, or "unsolved."
