Guess a few cities you think might top the list of violent crime today
Then see where they rank on these lists
Chicago? New York? Saint Louis?
Check them out, see where they rank
Different sources will vary the ranking but usually not vastly different
Looking at the population density of a city is another factor.
Obviously a higher density city might have a higher crime rate although not necessarily a direct correlation.
The population map is above but here is a more detailed written list of population density in America, some surprises
List of United States cities by population density
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...lation_density
The maps are just for introductory reference more detail below,
various sources for the violent crime rate estimates for various cities.
interestingly, New York with all the media hype on a crime surge,
don't get me wrong there has been a crime surge and it's a problem but on a relative basis
New York is not even making it to these top 100 most violent cities lists and
you will see on the first list they have Chicago at #73
while Danville, IL is at #6.
This is because when you look at a whole city only some parts of it may be particularly violent
These sites will mention their sources, some of it is FBI stats but there is a time lag on some of that
so they also use local data
Note at the end here below, some shocking places listed, looking at the flip side of this
