Finished at 199, according to the paper. With 343k people as of the 2010 census count, that's 58 per 100k.

But NY has a higher random murder rate

How would going outside tell me anything about NY?

And what is your source that NY has a higher random murder rate? I'm 99.9% sure you're lying.

I find the mega-sprawl of the squalid Houston BY FAR more scaring

Back to Houston, the real problem with Houston is that even though murders are dropping robberies and agg. assaults are not.

And preliminary numbers for Juarez are out.

Juárez reported 38 percent fewer homicides in 2011 than in 2010, according to Chihuahua state statistics.


The city ended another year of drug cartel wars with 1,904 homicides in 2011, from Jan. 1 through Dec. 23, compared to 3,117 in 2010.

Juárez had 2,643 homicides in 2009 and 1,607 homicides in 2008.

Police reported the first homicide of the year Sunday with the death of a 60-year-old man who was struck by a vehicle, based on a preliminary investigation.

He was identified as Ezequiel Carvajal Zavala, whose body was found near the intersection of Las Maravillas and Piramide.
Officials said a bullet casing was found nearby, but they didn't know yet if the man was also shot.

Nationally, Mexico had 51,918 homicides since President Felipe Calderon announced a crackdown against the drug cartels.

Over the past four years, rival drug cartels led by Vicente "Viceroy" Carrillo Fuentes and Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman have waged a bloody battle for control of the Juárez-El Paso smuggling corridor.

Kansas City, MO had 114. That's pretty high considering much of kcmo proper and its 550k residents is suburban and KCK gets a fair amount as well.

KCMO tied with StLouis this year. KCMO's homicides increased while StL went down quite a bit.

We finished at 37 2011 homicides - Google Maps

35 last year keeps us pretty stable.
