I am surprise that Sugarland (nears Houston) is better than Round Rock (nears Austin).

Why Chicago and a bunch of cities in IL don't have complete data?

Discuss.

[zokudu]

[Svnla]

[zinfamous]

[OCGuy]

OC coming in with 3 of the safest......as usual.

 

[busydude]

OP, can you make the font size a little bigger? I am having a hard time reading.

I just saw this on CNN.. I visit St. Louis every two weeks on average, I should me be more careful I guess.

This should work for our "other" audience.

Where are the border cities?

I thought I read some where that El Paso was the safest large city in the US.
It's Amazing considering one of the deadliest cities in the world is literally on the other side of a fence.

Maybe it's because in Texas we can shoot back.

I live in 398 and 396 is a bordering town.

[Exterous]

shit - we dropped to 3?! Man - we used to have something special. I guess Detroit just isn't like it used to be :\

 

[lxskllr]

Baltimore got 11th. Not too bad, but it used to be higher. That was MD's only entry.

 

[Glitchny]

Surprised..... New York?!

There is a lot of nothing in the middle/western parts of NY makes sense they'd be pretty safe.

 

[Riceninja]

lol@28k income. all of michigan on welfare :biggrin:

 

[CycloWizard]

OP, can you make the font size a little bigger? I am having a hard time reading.

I just saw this on CNN.. I visit St. Louis every two weeks on average, I should me be more careful I guess.

Yes, you should... Some parts of the city are never safe. The mayor gave a statement about this study today and how bogus it is, while on the front page of the Post-Dispatch, all of the other articles were about various murders that had happened on a Sunday afternoon (usually a relatively slow day for us). For example:

Chase follows shootings of four at St. Louis market

Driver shot to death in St. Louis

 

[QueBert]

BlahBlahYouToo, apparently you don't limit your hatred to overweight people. Maybe you can pull up more statistics that prove the top 10 most unsafe cities are also unsafe due to the % of obesity.

 

[OCGuy]

Those statistics are pretty damning. Too bad you can't talk about them without appearing "racist."

 

[Dr. Detroit]

I work in Uptown Oakland -

Some areas are atrocious - some are not so bad.

 

[QueBert]

Those statistics are pretty damning. Too bad you can't talk about them without appearing "racist."

You can talk about them without appearing racist if you're not racist, pretty simple. The bottom line is it's due to poverty more than anything else. Those are some of the shittiest places to live in America. It's no surprise shitholes breed crime and violence. Minorities tend to be the ones who are poor, big surprise there.

 

[lupi]

woot, we're in the negative!

Thanks for the warning, any specific areas that I should be NOT strolling into? Other than the obvious East St. Louis that is.
