I live smack dab between Rockford and Chicago. I'd rather go to Chicago any day of the week. Rockford is a shithole.

Usually per capita Chicago really isn't that bad. Well this year they've really stepped it up. If murder keeps climbing at the same rate they might top 700 this yr.




Good place to pull up crime stats. They use the current FBI and DOJ stats for their rating.

They have the neighborhoods color coded according to crime stats. Works pretty good to narrow down certain areas.

Nearest I can tell, the majority of crime in Chicago happens in specific inner city areas..  Then then dilute the numbers by including the rest of the city where there is much less crime.

The professionals liars here in the People's Republic of Konnecticut do the same thing.   They take violent cities like Hartford and then dilute it with the demographics from the rest of the state, so they can say "Konnecticut is one of the safest states".  Kinda like insisting a pile of shit is delicious once you mix it with more and more tomato sauce.

Odessa is the middle of BFE.

Anyone who's been to Odessa isn't shocked by that.  Midland-Odessa is basically just a pit where people wait for the next oil boom to pop up.

It is south of the Mason-Dixon line and most Marylander's (not Marylandian's <----- Gay) were going to the Confederacy until ol' Abe put a stop to to it by flooding the state with fed troops. BTW, the Battle of Antietam in MD was the most bloody and costly, in lives lost of any battle during the civil war, so I guess it's fitting Baltimore made the list.

Chicago gets out because it's a big city and their crime problem is really confined to a fairly small area of it.

You do realize that the city isn't just one big ghetto, right? There are plenty of very wealthy areas and the population is larger than that of like 16 entire states.  When a single city has something on the order of 5 times the population of Wyoming, it's going to take a lot of crime to bring up the overall crime rate.

This. If you could isolate the statistics for just the Inglewood community of Chicago, however, it's ranking would be off the charts.
