You can't really compare them apples to apples because they are not the same "size" irl.

Houston is 640 sq.mi in area. Chicago is 225 sq.mi. Chicago would have close to 4.5 million in the same equivalent geographic area as Houston proper.

Houston has more homicides than the entire state of Massachusetts despite having 1/3rd the population and being 65% the size of Rhode Island by land area.

Thats how silly you sound.

Homicides need to be looked at neighborhood vs. neighborhood level, not "city wide" level because homicides are not even distributed geographically through a cityscape and have zero correlation with density, only socioeconomics.
