These Are America's Most Dangerous Cities

Given that 2016 was the worst year for homicides in nearly two decades in Chicago, it comes as little surprise that the city has a reputation as one of the most violent places in the United States.
Last year, there were 762 murders, 3,550 shooting incidents and 4,331 shooting victims with an average of 12 people shot every single day.
In fact, the Windy City experienced more murders than New York and Los Angeles combined last year with the number of homicides there since 2001 eclipsing U.S. war dead in Iraq and Afghanistan by late November.
However, as Statista's Niall McCarthy notes, even though it had more murders than any other U.S. city last year, is Chicago's violent reputation entirely justified?

You will find more statistics at Statista
According to nonprofit news outlet The Trace, Chicago is actually far behind other major U.S. cities in homicides per 100,000 residents.
It found that between 2010 and 2015, New Orleans had a homicide rate of 46.9 per 100,000 inhabitants compared to just 16.4 in Chicago.
As bad a problem as Chicago has on its hands, this metric does show that many other cities actually have higher levels of violence.

I'm surprised Chattanooga isn't on there.

I'm surprised to see Chicago so low on the list.

Chicago has about 2.722 million people according to The U.S. Census Bureau. According to the article, there were 762 murders in Chicago last year. According to the chart of murder rates for the cities, the murder rate of Chicago is 16.4 per 100k people.

I could be wrong, so someone who is better at math help me out. I come up with a murder rate of about 33 per 100k people. It also seems that, if the murder rate of Chicago is 16.4 per 100k people, then based on a population of about 2.7 million, there should have been fewer than 450 murders in Chicago last year.

Let me get this straight. New Orleans is at the top of the list and the only thing that Mitch was able to do to make things better was to pull an ISIS and take down Four Confederate statues, at a ridiculous cost, waste a lot of police overtime in the process...it's not like they had better things to do. So that the''good people'' would not feel threatend and stay in the city.

Tupelo, MS. is a mid sized town. It's being over run by thugs from Chicago, Memphis, and Detroit. Before long, we're gonna be known as "Little Memphis", and I'm not kidding!

Right Church wrong pew.

While the root cause is spiritual, it is the Democrat Party that has corrupted the populace of most large cities to vote for Democrats.
