I'm an over the road truck driver been to just about every city in the US, Chicago,Phlily,NYC,L.A , are the worst,, I think Chicago is just about the worst..I think it's because there are so many alleys to hide and it takes the police so long to respond to a call...

Good point! It's not just a coincidence that virtually all the cities listed have high percentages of minorities living in them! Why can't they control themselves and be civilized? I guess that's why they are the minority in the free world but the majority in the prison world...!!!

Chicago had a 2.7 million population. Camden Detroit and Flint had a 886,000 combined population which is 3 times smaller than Chicago's. The 500 murders in Chicago was blown out of proportion considering Camden Detroit and Flint combined for 516 murders while being 3 times smaller together than Chicago alone. But the Chicago media never mentioned that "glass half full" scenario but ran the "glass half empty" scenario into the ground of Chicago having more murders than 3 times larger New York. SMH

In 1990 NYC's murder count was 2245 while D.C.'s murder count was 482 but D.C. was the murder capital because it had the highest murder rate at 77.8 per 100,00. It's not about the highest murder count it's about the highest murder rate and Chi has never had the highest murder rate on an annual basis.

Chicago had the highest murder count. Since every city is a different size its the city with the highest murder rate which is the murder capital and never in its history has Chicago had the highest murder rate. This a documented fact.

Things were overhyped in Chicago. The population was around 2.7 million in Chicago and the murder count was 500. OK, but Detroit, New Orleans and Philly had a smaller combined population than Chicago at 2.6 million and a combined murder count of 910 between them. This is why things are measured on a per capita basis at the end of the day.

Re Rio de Janeiro: Spot on. Chicago's murder numbers are puny compared to Rio - and many other Brazilian cities as well. Because Chicago's always on the US news they think it's murder capital of the world rofl. It's the city of great hype.

Anybody can rank chicago whatever they want but ppl in this city know what kind of hell goes on here. Although you got your killers in every city all around the world. The thugs in chicago are unique to others in the U.S. If the young punks really knew how to aim then there will be a real blood bath. 60+ shootings per just the weekends.. Although with the projects down and police cameras everywhere, crime has dramatically dropped in chicago compared to 90's when murders rate was nearly 1,000 murdered a year.

I tell you this much, Chicago is a vacation place for people in Detroit, did you hear what i said CHICAGO is a VACATION PLACE for Detroiters. You will see the whole city is being abandoned, whole buildings, Police stations with their computers on the floor and chairs being decayed, post offices, schools, whole blocks leveled to the ground, there are about 50 thousand street dogs, most of them pitbulls, recently jackals have been reported, 3 out of 5 is a ruined house. You can't say you've been to Detroit just because you drive down 75 or 94, lol I tell you this much, you will never ever go to a gas station in Detroit, ever. Every school has a metal detector like if you are going into a cell. It's a mess really. It's a shame. It was the best city in the world just 60 years ago, had the highest job ranking and even to these days American Economy depends on this city. By the way According to real statistics released by government officials METRO DETROIT has been #1 the most dangerous metropolitan in USA for 10 years in a row. By the way St Luis in 30th place? This is what it is, people for their own cities for for their cities as if it's an accomplishment for having murders.

Murder Capital is defined as the city of at least 100,000 residents with the most non-negligent homicides per 100,000 residents. Bureau of Justice Statistics website shows that the most recent year Detroit suffered that distiction was 1987 so that was the last year Detroit was the actual Murder Capital.

Detroit is one of those cities, if ur from a decent township and u head out to Detroit and take a drive through it and look left to right as u are driving through it, it kinda makes u put things into perspective. So far as I may not have everything I don't need everything, but the people that live dotted throughout the communitty in some spots have the bare minnimum such as a person sitting on the front porch of a hallowed out home that still has the charred remmains of a fire that could of took place anywhere from the 1960's riots that were so bad that the national gaurd had to pull troops out of Vietnam to maintain the chaos, or it could have been from a moltov cocktail that a gangmember threw into the window just weeks before. Eighther way when u see something like that u know damn well that person has no electricity no water no food no anything, and that is when it comes to a matter of survival like standing out on a street corner selling crack rocks and climbing through somebodys window at three O clock in the morning to loot everything and sell it too a pawn shop to support ur habbit and thats why we have crime like we do a lot of these people are raised in bad ways and they grow up to not know any better than to not give a **** anymore not only that but the educational system as well as the justice system in this country are nothing more than an utter ****ing JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My comment is in reply to the one about New Orleans,, Hurricane Katrina, and Houston. Don't act like Houston never had crime until New Orleanians evacuated there. I am not condoning anything wrong that they did. However, Houston had a high crime rate WAY before New Orleans came there. Even on this list, Houston is #7 and New Orleans is #13. Think about that!

New Orleans continues to have the highest murder rate in the nation, according to an FBI report released Monday. Due to Katrina and the shifting populace has made crime rates difficult to nail down, but even using the most generous estimates, New Orleans has ranked among the nation's most murderous cities for several years. Richmond, Calif., a city of nearly 103,000 that sits north of Oakland, has the second-highest per-capita.

Maybe if they start putting some of the good things that's happen in the city, our city won't get looked at as being the murder capital of the world. And furthermore if parents would do a better job raising their kids and stop letting society brain wash them, the entire world would be a better place. I have traveled to many different cities and I haven't found one that when I watch the news there isn't crime and I haven't found one that has open arms like New Orleans that make everyone feel at home no matter what shape, size or color you are, so until I find another place that I feel can rise to the title of being my Home. New Orleans it is.

I lived there my whole life then moved and when I tell people where I'm from they're almost shocked... one guy was all "Oh man you go down there and you'll get a knife pulled out on you.." Well if people used more common sense it's not as scary as people may think... I mean I'm not sayin NO is a safe place... it's far from that... but if you go there don't just think you're gonna get shot you know? It kinda annoys me...

I stay on the southside of atlanta. In one of atlantas suburban areas called Clayco. Clayco is home numerous gangs, and the youngsters out here will rob and shoot for an ounce of weed. Atlantas suburbs are actually worse then the citys epicenter. Mainly due to whites moving back to the cities and all the poor blacks taking to the suburbs Clayton and Dekalb county to be exact. Between ClaycCo and Dekalb. Just watch our news channels, shootings, home invasions, kidnappings, and robberies go down all day out here. The news channel and helicoptors have been to my neiborhood like 4 times in one year. One time they found a body in the woods, 2 seperate shootings, and another home invasion shooting. Thats why 48 hours is filming in dekalb county they even said that they got 2 seasons worth of murders ready to air in the time it normally takes to film a half of seasons worth of murders in other cities, and thats Dekalb Co atlantas suburb. It may look nice but a simple run in with a hot head or even a drug deal gone bad could cost u ur life out here.

It looked like towards the end of the 90's the ATL was on the up and up, but the economy going to crap has had it's effect on the city.

You talking about how many murders Chicago has, but you not realizing that a city as large as Chicago and New York and Houston always has the most murders because its so many more people fool! If a city has a million people compared to a city with 500,000 people, 80% of the time the city with more people is going to have more murders. Thats why we have a thing called PER CAPITA! And PER CAPITA Chicago murder numbers match up with most gansta cities. And no city had more murders per capita than DC in the early 90's. WE WERE THE MURDER CAPITAL!!! Now go research PER CAPITA Chi-Town!!

To all you people who lost many loved ones or friends, hate to say it but they must have been criminals or hung with criminals. I lived in Aurora for more than 30 years of my life and I'm still alive. If you stay in your neighborhood, and make sure it isn't one with blacks or Mexicans, then you will be fine. In my opinion, kill all criminals convicted 3 separate times and watch the crime rates drop. Working society should never have to pay for criminals who proved they cannot be a decent part of society. I know if I was president, I would implement a three strikes and you are out(dead) act. We are way too lenient to criminals here and our prison systems are a joke. All we should have to feed them despicable bastards and that is it. No commissary, no TV's and no privileges. Just 3 hots and cot is all them criminals deserve. Bet that crime rate would drop drastically if the prison system was like that.

Typical day in my city. Guy burns his house down and kills his brother and cousin at the same time. They say it was over drug money and hoes. The zoo is nice and downtown is cleaner but still not super safe or exciting. The mall is still a war zone with Kings and GD fights every night. Most everyone I know is unemployed or workin for pennys. The illegeals sell most of the drugs and shot each other and innocent people. The illegals are the only ones making money in this town cause they smuggle drugs. I had 3 friends get shot and 2 died. 2 more committed suicide. The cops are corrupt. If I had money and didn't have family and friends here I woulda left a long time ago.

Alright people talkin lotta nonsense so ima tell it straightup Aurora aint reportin all the stuff goin on cause the city wouldn't build the new giant cop shop if they think they police was doin a bad job so they had to keep crime stats low to sell people on the new cop shop. Ok plus aurora gettin tight on landlords the city says u can't rent to felons dealers and bangers no more or u lose u property plus they closed up the public houseing so the problem r still here they just moved to other places like oswego Sandwich and plano cause people rentin to section 8 trill gd's deuces and vicelords now cause they cany sell they houses. So its for real thr east side still real shady and a-town's problems spreadin to neighbor towns but no of them like Englewood in the Chi or Westwood was in A-town yet but I'm say 1 more thing lotta folks worryed bout this summer cause people goona fight 4 these new territorys might time to just move me outta the area

First, when did Chicago make the top 5 in the last 20 years. In the last ten years the most murders chicago had for a single year was in 2001 when it had 665 murders. Chicago has a lot of people about 2.8 million. So it murder rate is only about 22 murder per 100k. Dont get me wrong that is a pretty high murder rate for any city and chicago a rough city, but it is no where near the top 5 or even the top 20. Second, Aurora had 15 murders (2000), 8 (2001),25 (2002),13 (2003),17 (2004). Thats an average of 15.6 murder a year for those years. And with the size of Aurora's population thats not that many. Its murder rate for those years per 100k are only: 10.5 (2000), 5.6 (2001), 17.5 (2002), 8.5 (2003), 10.9 (2004). I am not saying Aurora is a very safe city, it just not a very dangerous one. Maybe for your area those are high numbers and it may seem bad there but compared to dozens and dozens of other cities in the US those numbers dont even come close to theirs. With murder rates that low this city should not even be on this list at all. And im pretty sure in the last few years their were even less murders (like in 2008 only 2 murders). So pretty much what i am saying is yes Chicago is a bad city but not as bad as you think compared to other cities like Camden, Detroit, New Orleans, Irvington NJ, Oakland, Gary IN, St. Louis, Flint MI, Richmond Ca, Memphis, Newark, Baltimore, ect ect. And Aurora is definitely no where near those cities! Or even dozens and dozens... and dozens of other cities.

NO not nuff said!... it had 30 murders a long time ago in the early 90's i looked it up.. check wikipedia too.. a lot of bad cities were even worse in the early 90's, the 90's were just a bad time.. but even if you were telling the truth and Aurora did have 30 murders recently, which your not and it didnt. But lets say they did have 30 murders and some point in the, lets give you last 10 years, it would have 30 murders out of a population 170,000 ppl. Thats a per capita murder rate of about 17 murder per 100,000. Thats a pretty high number for an average city but wouldnt even put you in the top 40 worst cities today. Cities like Detroit, Flint, Gary, New Orleans, and Camden,NJ have over 4 times that murder rate per capita. Camden a city with only 80,000 ppl has had years in the last 10 years with over 60 murders a year, thats a per capita murder rate of about 75 murders per 100,000!! Wikipedia says Aurora, IL only had 2 murders as recently as 2007, so stop stating false facts that you are not even close to being correct about. All these cities that i see on this site from some no name town in IL are all making false claims and are all probably from someone who lives in IL trying to make his area sound cool. Because of how false this Aurora, IL post was i decided to look up the stats for all the towns on this site that are from IL. What i found is all of these town are not bad at all! with the exception of Chicago and Cicero, IL and even those two wouldnt be in the top 30 (but they're still bad though). Stop Lieing!!! I hope everyone down ranks all of the corny IL towns you added and falsely claiming they're dangerous, when they are not!!!!

Jobs are pretty hard to find. lots of drunk and homeless bums (same in miami) and a lot of people are not afraid to pull a gun here. Its a great city and very beautiful but a shame to see how much better the city could be.

LOL, I've lived in Kansas City, Missouri and lived in Omaha, Nebraska. Omaha is is not even in the same planet as KC as far as drug dealers, gangsters and murderers. Kansas City has a thousand killers that shoot at all times of the day and night and they shoot to kill. Omaha is a joke compared to Kansas City. MUCH safer in Omaha than KC.

I live in Oakland Ca and grew up in Omaha. Not only is Omaha way more violent, but it has much more random violence. It's just a sick culture. There is nowhere in Oakland I can't walk at night, but there are entire areas in Omaha that are untraversable at night. Gotta say, this made me laugh. Omaha is just one big ghetto as has been for decades. It's so sad. Get out. I lived all over the country, and Omaha is very unique in how terrible it is. The cops are stone cold murderers too.

I think that their isn't a lot of racism. As a Hispanic I don't see it. What I do see is that people are tired of the race baiters and quite frankly like most people we just get tired of the whining and bitching.

That is a false stament. If you look at statistics more white males are convicted for sexual assault and even worse sexual assault on a child.

Houston is very dangerous, I spent the first 20 years of my life on the northside and I assure you it is very rough. The cops would not even come out to our neighborhood at night, you could call all night. And my block was considered nice.

Don't know where everyone else is getting their info, but I am fairly certain the Northeast and East have the highest murder rate in Houston, followed by the Southeast. Am a single female, born here, lived southwest, central, north, northwest, west. The Astrodome area used to have a gaggle of prostitutes, but haven't seen any in over a decade or more. Have seen corner drug dealers just east of downtown, heard a few gun shots North of N. Shepherd and 43rd, and drove past a body at the curb a block or two from Shepherd and Westhiemer, but that could have been an accidental hit and run. Not much to speak of for nearly 40 years of living here. People here are generally friendly unless they are in a hurry or having a bad hair day lol

Houston is laid back! I've lived here since 2004, and have always felt safe! From what I hear in the 90's it was ruff, but has calmed down substantially since then. I have lived on the Southside of Houston, and from my experience, and observations it's cool. There is a lot of drug activity, but you don't have the violence that typifys other major cities( NJ, Baltimore, Miami, etc). I know drug dealers that don't even carry a gun, and there is no beef over drug territory in the Black Southside hoods. The Northside is a different story though, and is way more hood, and violent than the south. Fortunately, everything in Houston is situated on the southside, so I don't have to venture to that side of town. It seems like every murder they showcase in the " H" is on the northside, ya dig! All in all, I love Houston!!! Grew up in Southern Cali, but Houston is home now. The cost of living is extremely low, and it is relatively safe for a city this large. To be the 4th largest city in America & rank where we are in this list should show that!

Im 36, lived in Macon all my life;It basically boils down to this, certain areas of town you simply do not pass thru, especially if you are an outsider! There are lots and lots of drugs, murders,assaults and gangs. Lets not forget the incredibly incompetent police force and shoe salesman for Mayor. Nothing to fear, if you have eyes in the back of your head...oh yeah, ALWAYS carry a weapon.

Ignorance is the number one killer in Baltimore City. Poor education in our city schools is another one of the many problems that this city faces. Our youth has a bleak future and they see it everyday in their classrooms. Unfortunately, this bleakness can not be escaped. Every day as I walk and drive the streets of my city I see it crumbling. A high unemployment rate, immoral police officers, approximately 47, 000 abandoned buildings, functioning drug traps and an attitude of not caring about the community and the people that live in it contributes to the current state and the future of Baltimore City. When will people wake up and ask for help? It is not easy, but change must start within the individual. I am a city school teacher and I am dedicated to helping the youth of this city. Everyday I wake up and go to work hoping that I can be a positive influence for a child and change their life for the better in some way shape or form, even if it is on a small scale. Each adult in the city should do the same. Be a positive influence for the youth of Baltimore City. Be the change you want to see in your city. WAKE UP.

Its San Juan, PR just like Chicago is Chicago, IL and New York City is New York City, NY. San Juan is a city in Puerto Rico which is why its San Juan, PR. But it is city a US city. Its the US common wealth of Puerto Rico. Washington, DC is also a common wealth; but their votes for president count Puerto Rico's votes dont count. All Puerto Ricans are US citizens at birth, PR uses US currency, and you do not need a passport to go to PR. So let me make this easier for you, Its San Juan, PR USA. Is that better?

^^^ I think you meant that PR aren't putting out the real crime stats so its actually much worse, even though the numbers they do release are bad already. It makes sense since they need the money from tourism and no body was to take a vacation to a place the might get killed. I've been there a few times and its beautiful there and i felt some what safe. But that was by the beach in the tourist areas. When i saw the rest of the city it was like night and day. San Juan is definitely a rough city.

Oakland's cool. We got a district called Oaksterdam with all the pot cafes. It used to be hella crazy in the 80s, but it's actually really nice here now. There's lots of culture, art, and communities. I prefer it over SF.

It ALL depends on WHERE you are in St. Louis & what time of day it is as to whether it's "dangerous" or not. This is true of nearly any major metro area. I lived on S. Side for 20 years and was never hurt, mugged, shot, etc. I did get a car stereo stolen a few days before Xmas, but that was it. And I lived within the city limits. And 6 of those years I was a single woman in my 20s living alone, parking on the street at night. I learned a lot of tips for staying street smart & safe. Not sure if I was smart or just lucky. But I'm still here.

St.Louis is going crazy cause people are getting killed in u.city, a suburb of St.Louis and the south and north side are getting worse. Maybe it would be better if the city wasn't so racially divided and the predominantly black public schools are under funded and some without credit and unlicensed teachers the St. Louis city schools.

In all honesty, i believe philly is way worser than camden!! All camden need is a little help from the mayor dana redd and govenor chriss fat a##! If im paying taxes they should use it to help camden, in stead of laying off all those cops! I bet u dana redd dnt live out here, n chriss fat a## would not make it out her the minute he came to camden! We are not the bad nor the worst.

Its a small city but dont under estimate it either. the killings and crime in this city is so bad. plus know theres barley any police or public enforcement in the city so for 2011 its going to get even worse. dont even get me started about the schools. there the are 316 high schools in new jeresy and the two high schools in camden are the worst rated 315, and 316. think twice before you step foot in camden. dont mess around in this city. saying this for your own saftey. its not the best town but im acually proud to say im from morristown

Only someone who has never been to Camden would ever say that Detroit is worse/more dangerous. I live in Philly (a city that is crazy about murdering people) and I feel safe when I look across the bridge at Camden. The numbers might change year to year but I would bet overall Camden is consistenly the worst city in this country. Now they have no cops. Wowwwww. Wow.

Camden has always been in the top 5 worst cities for at least the last 25 years. Has be number one worst more than a few times. The different bettween Camden than Detroit (and most other cities) is Detroit has some nice parts, All of Camden is bad. Shootings everyday, many murders per capita, burnt down building, trash everywhere, striped cars in the street, high poverty rate, its one of the poorest cities in the US. If you have seen Camden for you self you would know what i am talking about, there is a big difference than most dangerous cities on this list then Camden. I mean even googl street view was only allowed to film just a few streets because Camden looks so poor and depressed that the city didnt want the rest of country to how bad there doing.

Ive been living in Richmond for 21 years and now going on 22 years and Richmond isnt that bad at all.Yeah there are crimes here and there but what city doesn't have them? As for as having gangs here.

Mobile, AL Report Abuse
I sit and read blogs about crime in these different cities. Most of these cities share something in common--a known history of crime. The good part of having a known history is it brings awareness to individuals visiting, but when city officials hide statistics like those relevant to yes Mobile, AL its another issue. People visit with the understanding of Mobile being similar to what the name may suggest--not much. Upon a closer look of the seemingly friendly residents would reveal a much darker secret. The demeanor of the residents is NOT what is appears to be. Just because they seem friendly doesn't mean they don't prey. Murders for the last FBI statistics in 2009 revealed Mobile, AL as a small city (half the size of New Orleans) holding the [3rd highest murder rate] in the United States and [7th] among the world. So to all that have roots stemming from these parts and/or plan to visit, don't underestimate what you see. When one underestimates is when one goes wrong. I would hate to read about one of the readers of this blog being shipped back home to their nefarious cities in a freezer because one misjudged their surroundings.

I am a woman who lives in mobile and was born and raised here also. Mobile has very, very few safe, clean areas to live. I don't live in a necessarily bad area but a somewhat populated area and i don't even like to walk to my car after dark. And absolutely won't go to any store by myself after dark. There are several murders weekly not even counting the shootings that i hear in my neighborhood on a regular basis. Although there are some beautiful places to hang in mobile, i would suggest using a GPS or MapQuest to ensure you get where you're trying to go..

LMAO @ "3rd highest murder rate in the US and 7th in the world". Mobile's not even the highest in its state (im pretty sure Birmingham is waaaay worse) how is it the 3rd highest in the US. And 7th in the world LOL!! Who ever posted this just make their city look bad and into a joke. If they would have just posted real stats instead of some make believe (3rd in US/7th in world! lol) stats Mobile probably would get more respect instead of all this laughter.

^^^CONTINUED: Since 2006 is the only year i can find the number of murders for all of the cities listed lets go with that: in 2006; Mobile(200k) had 34 murders which is a Murder Rate of about 17 per 100k; Camden(80k) had 32 murder which is a Murder Rate of about 40 per 100k; Flint, MI(125K) had 54 murders which is a Murder Rate of about 43.2 per 100k; Irvington NJ(55k) had 23 murders which is a Murder Rate of about 42 per 100k; Detroit(920k) had 391 which is a Murder Rate of about 42 per 100k; New Orleans(330k) had 162 murders with a Murder Rate of 49 per 100k; St. Louis(350k) had 129 murders with a Murder Rate of about 37 per 100k, and Gary IN(100k) had 44 murders which is about 44 per 100k. And these are just a handfull of the many cities that have a much, much higher murder rate than Mobile dont get me started on the others like Richmond CA, Richmond Va, Oakland, Newark Nj, Compton, Birmingham AL, Memphis, Trenton NJ, Hartford CT, ect. ect. But i do agree with that all murders are senseless, just not that Mobile is anywhere close to being ranked higher for murder or overall crime than dozens of cities that can be name, not saying Mobile isnt dangerous just not on the level of some other cities and definiitely not 3rd hightest murder rate in US or 7th in the world!!

^^^In reply to "Schoolboy". No the comment above yours said that some of the cities listed above have double sometimes triple the murder RATE of Mobile not "in terms of numbers" as you put it. That mean per 100k. The term "Murder Rate" already means per 100k and not raw total numbers of murders. Obviously cities like LA and New York City have more murders per year, they have millions more people! But their murder Rate is much lower than Mobile. The cities that were listed above (Camden, Detroit, Flint, Irvington NJ, NO, St Louis, Gary IN) do have double and some years triple the Murder Rate (remember per 100k) of Mobile, AL. And more than half the cities mentioned above have a similar or smaller population than Mobile. But since you asked for them here you go: Mobile, about 200k; Camden about 80k; Flint, MI about 125k; Irvington, NJ about 55k; Gary,IN about 100k; New Orleans about 330k; St. Louis about 350k, and Detroit about 920k. Regardless of their population all of the cities listed above whether smaller or larger they have a much higher Murder Rate (per 100k) than Mobile AL and their is no way that Mobile has the 3rd highest murder rate in the US or 7th highest in the world, not even close!! Since 2006 is the

Murder statistics are based on population in terms of per 100k. You said yourself that some of the cities listed have doubled or even tripled in terms of the number of murders within the city, but you failed to mentioned the population of these cities. As you mentioned, murders are measured on a per 100k scale. If you take a closer look at some of these cities where the population more than quadruple that of Mobile, AL you will see how the FBI ranked Mobile as being third; furthermore, you should be able to see that some of these cities you are listing actually have relatively lower percentages of murders per 100k. The stats are there. Check for yourself. Moreover, the intent of the initial comment wasn't to draw doubters like yourself who are smart, but not smart enough to perform thorough research, the focal point is to highlight caution and awareness because [any] number of murders is senseless.
Added 13 years ago by Schoolboy , -3 points Vote + to improve this comment's ranking Vote - to decrease this comment's ranking
Wow not even close to having the 3rd highest murder rate in the US or 7th in the world. Mobile isnt even in the top 60 in the US let alone the world! Mobile has a population of about 200,000 people and in 2009 had ONLY 24 murders. Thats a murder rate of only 12 per 100k! Now if you go off the number of murders in mobile in 2008 (which is what i think you're refering too, the list of the FBI stats that came out in 2009 are for 2008 number, every year the list is for the year before) there were a lot more murder, 42. But even with 42 murders in a city with 200k that 21 murders per 100k. Cities like Camden, NJ; Detroit/Flint, MI; Irvington, NJ; New Orleans; St. Louis; Gary, IN all double and sometime even triple that murder rate. So to say Mobile has the 3rd hightest murder rate in the US and 7th highest in the world is completely false! There are dozens of cities with higher murder rates in the US!

Washington, DC Report Abuse
266 points - added 15 years ago by BrendaKaye - 9 comments
Comments:
I've been living in NOVA my whole life and am always in DC and have never had any problems at all. Now if you out on street and have and acting like you scared or don't have any street sense you draw attention from people that prey on easy targets. SE is most dangerous even though Trinidad NE and Lincoln Heights NE is pretty close but PG county MD is more dangerous than DC on a whole. For most part DC is a great city to visit or live. City government robs more people than residents do. Parking tickets from $20-$150 is most common robbing. 600,000 people live there plus a few 100,000 or visitors everyday with no parking spots is worse part. You will get a ticket sometimes even when in legal spot but see VA tag and they know its going to be $20 in gas to go to court and back not including missing work to go to court so its cheaper to just pay the $20 ticket. That's where I get robbed not by the civilians and we all know how much the politicians steal from tax money. I feel DC is much safer than Richmond, Va or Baltimore, Md plus the federal law makes it much better on some things than any city. No jail for a little bit of Mary Jane and what is felonies in Va or Md is misdemeanors in DC. DC is the place to be see

It appears to have a murder rate 3 to 4 times higher than average but the population is approx 200K with a large portion of that as minorities to which the murder rate is focused. Having lived in Memphis, Boston, and Chicago I am not intemidated. The ghettos as stated above is not much at all...doesn't even come close to Chicago or Memphis.

I visited Philly in 08 for the Penn relays, and this is the only city where I have ever felt unsafe! I wish I could have brought my heat! The streets are filthy, goons everywhere, prostitutes, drugs, and did I say goons everywhere? Lol. I went there solo, which I am accustomed to traveling solo, and I ran to my car every night. The streets look like something out of a batman movie. I had fun, and met some fly females, and a couple of cool brothers. But you can feel the imminent danger in the air! I think the only reason no real funk popped off is because the goons were pre occupied with the Penn relay parties, and festivities. Even though this club I went to that had metal detectors had a couple of beat downs occur! I'm not saying I would never go back. If they held a major event like all star weekend or superbowl I would go back, but it's my least favorite city that I have been too, and I have been to a lot of major cities!

It was crazy when I lived there in the mid-70's down on SWB between 7th and 18th st expressway, as I use to bounce down there. The bars on the strip like the Merry-Go-Round and Jumpin Jacks Kazzos several miles down that rd. in Merriam Ks you had the rich Johnson Co White girls and their boy friend coming to one of the poorest County's, racial hate and jealousy's brewing . Always finding a body or a shoot out somewhere down there.

What a joke! You ppl must know nothing other than what you see in movies. NYC is not a bad city at all! This shouldnt even be on this list at any number. Maybe if you were talk about a bad section of nyc like East NY, Brooklyn; or the South Bronx (where im from) but even if you broke it down like that we (nyc) wouldnt even be in the top 40. My entire bourough of The Bronx averages about 55-60 murders a year in the last 10 years. 56 murders in 2006 for the entire Bronx compared to Camden, NJ which had 48 murders! The Bronx has a population of about 1,400,000, and 60 murders; while Camden, NJ only has population of 80,000 with 48 murders ! So you do the math! Which city sounds bad now? Maybe its overkill to compare the bronx to camden (one of the worst cities in the US) but thats one of many example of cities worse than the bronx, or any section of new york and the city as a whole. All these ppl voting for nyc as on of the most dangerous cities have no idea about places with real crime and probably live in a nice suburb and watch tv and think oh nyc must be exactly like the movie new jack city. You make real ppl who actually like in these cities laugh at you. Stop watching movies and do some research for stats or better yet actually go to these cities for yourself.

There is absolutely no crime to speak of in El Paso. Anyone who thinks El Paso is dangerous does not live here. There are political forces at work wanting to paint El Paso as a dangerous city because it is on the border. They want to use this non-fact to argue for a larger federal role in border security. Don't believe a word of it and ask someone who lives here.

Irvington is crazy.. makes Newark look nice and Newark is bad as hell! Irvington, Camden, Detroit are definitely the worst places i ever been to followed by Newark, Oakland/Richmond CA, San Juan Puerto Rico, Memphis (in some parts), New Orleans, Baltimore, Trenton, and Hartford. Atlanta and Compton didnt really seem extremly bad compared to a lot of the places i've seen but i was only there at those two place in the day time, im sure its much worse at night (Compton looked like a nice suburb though). Most of the other places on this list i havent been to so i cant coment on them. Detroit had some nice parts too. Camden and Irvington have like one or two nice blocks in the whole city. Too many murders in Irvington and they need clean all the trash on the streets and knock down and rebuild all the burnt down and vacant house's, same for Camden.

ichmond has a reputation for being extremely dangerous. It is often vilified in the media, as its citizens are often the victims or perpetrators of gang violence, shoot-outs and drive-by shootings.[3] Drug dealing and drug possession are common. The area is also worked by crack dealers and prostitutes. The community has been described by county officials as a "magnet" for illegal dumping.[10][11] The community is one of the most dangerous in the state and nation.[3

The city has a reputation for being crime-plagued, although this problem is centralized in the urban core, with many parts of Richmond having a low crime rate. But the city's own police department has described the city as having a chronic violent crime problem for "decades" and in 2010 was ranked as the 6th most dangerous city in the United States.[2][3][4][5][6]

Fairfax, VA Report Abuse
173 points - added 13 years ago by guest - 4 comments
Comments:
Fairfax is the 2nd richest county in America. The actual Fairfax city itself is not bad at all. There is really no violent crime or murders (minus the occasional husband murders wife) the majority of the crime is posession of weed, drunk driving, and vandalism by spoiled teenagers
Added 12 years ago by guest, 0 points Vote + to improve this comment's ranking Vote - to decrease this comment's ranking
Fairfax is loaded with gangs. 5 or 6 years ago it became the "East Coast Hub" for Los Angeles / El Salvador based gang MS-13, and crime rate went way up. But local law enforcement authorities don't report most of the major crimes (rapes, murders, etc.) to the media "unless they already have a suspect in custody." So much of it is hidden, and local residents are complacent until one of their neighbors gets killed, and then they move out. We lived there 20 years, but moved out in 2006, and so glad to be away from there. Beautiful, affluent area on the surface ... but don't go out at night unless you have a firearm and know how to use it.

i grew up in tulsa, its a beautiful city with the exception of 47th to 65th south peoria. and most of the north side, apache, mohawk n comanché, not much gang activity, but breeds some of the cities most heartless killers and drug addicts. being young n having joined a notorious tulsa street gang i have seen alot of **** from prostitution, rape, trafficking to murder. media mainstream hypes these citites up so much that people do stupid stuff like leave "we kill you we real" comments on websites like this. but its not a cool or glamourous life. from 14 to 18, i went to 24 funerals and over 40 life sentencings. theres nothing cool about seeing people you know lying in a box with his eyes glued shut or watching them be taken away for the rest of their lives. i love tulsa but i will never go back.

I've lived in this area all my life, most people don't know how it runs around here but its just the biggest town in the Salinas Valley(Salad Bowl) meaning to see how dangerous it really is you have to look at 6 towns combined and see the gang war is fought in each and every one of em with everyone knowing everyone in all these towns, incredibly dangerous to wear red or blue, or own a car that looks thugged out in red or blue, infact I seen an old lady get shot at for sporting a red outfit, same with anyone wearing blue, guns getting pulled out at a party are usual, ALL the murders are gang related, and there aint many murders, only about 30 a year in salinas alone but a lot higher number of attempted murders in each town, but cops can't do much

Based on numbers from FBI Uniform crime reports of 2010 Flint had 53 murders And a population of 109,000 Which did not make it the Murder Capital. Looks like Flint people overstated numbers like big brother Detroit has been doing for a long time.
Added 13 years ago by guest, 2 points Vote + to improve this comment's ranking Vote - to decrease this comment's ranking
The final number was actually 70 in 2010, which brings the numbers up a bit more. The reason that in my opinion Flint, as a resident here for 20 years, is worse than any other city in the nation is not because we have such a high murder rate that it's not comparable to other cities. There are plenty of other cities with 70 murders per 100k people. But there are not many other cities that have experienced the economic downfall that Flint has in the past 30 years. Even AFTER 2010 we've already cut 25% of our police force, and barely have any firemen left in 2011. I dare say by the time this year ends, we'll have a triple digit murder rate. I'm not proud of it by any means, but it is what it is.

Robbing and killing so you can support your drug habits instead of trying to legitimately earn a living. I feel bad for you and (heaven help them if you have them) your children.

I grew up in Flint, and I can make a good bet in saying those making racist comments are NOT from Flint. One of the things Flintstones LIKE about Flint is our racial diversity. The murder rate is out of control and always has been, and it's depressing. I had two relatives and five friends murdered while growing up. And as a further response to those making racist comments, the racial make up of the seven murderers of the people I knew who were murder victims growing up: Five were White, One was Asian, One was Black.

statistics show what they show about racial diversity...it is not a racist comment to say "bc everyone is black" it is a fact no matter where you are. Due to the lack of father figures and healthy family upbringing etc. You can say the same with the hispanic crime around TX and Mexico due to racial diversity.

I mean the children in these areas that get put in the middle of this for no reason are probably terrified! Traumatising innocent children by taking away their loved ones over stupidity and an egocentric value system is really not what you should want for yourselves!

Minneapolis, MN Report Abuse
Nicknamed "Murderapolis" (there was even t-shirts) in the 90's, things have calmed down a bit from the days when the murder rate was regularly around 25-30k per 100k. However, if it's North side was its own city, it would easily rival some of the top 10-20 cities annually. A large Somali immigrant population is threatening the stability as Somali gangs have begun to form. Maybe Prince can revise "Sign O the Times".

I used to live on the northside. It is no joke. Other parts of mpls are dumpy like east phillips and other parts of south, but north takes the cake. It has def calmed down since the 90s, but gunshots still ring out day and night. For being a community of under 100,000 people, per capita the northside is comparable to Gary, Detroit, Baltimore, etc...

North Minneapolis is the only part that's really bad. I lived in Minneapolis for years growing up and it's just like anywhere you go there are bad parts. It has become worse over the recent years but still, its a great place to live.

Most of North is tame now except the Phillips neighborhood That place will make Chuck Norris curl up and suck his thumb.

I've driven through nearly every major ghetto in the US and in only 3 neighborhoods was I actually scared for my life: Detroit, the South side of Memphis and the North side of Minneapolis. Everywhere else I felt fairly comfortable but in the North side of Minneapolis they must shoot out the streetlights because the streets where pitch black.

Ha! The biggest problems here are the Police shooting blacks and the disabled, bored young gangbangers shooting one another, and psycho pedaphiles kidnapping kids. More crime in Gresham, OR than Portland tho so why isn't it on the list?
