Chicago Isn’t Close to Being the Gun Violence Capital of the United States


Chicago’s homicide rate over the last five years was 16.4 per 100,000 residents. In St. Louis and New Orleans, the homicide rate from 2010 to 2015 was three times as high, on average.


Chicago’s rate of non-fatal shootings was 12th highest of 68 cities in 2015, with a rate of 88.9 per 100,000, according to the Major Cities Chiefs Association. The Association collects data from the countries largest law enforcement agencies. St. Louis led the list with a rate of 660 per 100,000 — nearly seven times as high as Chicago — followed by Memphis and Oakland.

St Louis is the wildest. That city small as fukk and do the most with rates that top cities with millions of people in it.

Isn't that because majority of the shootings happen in the south side? When you factor in the whole city it reduces the per capita

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

certain parts of the south side, the west side and the far north side are where most of the violence is happening

I am from Chicago; westside to be specific and it was not really that bad. Chicago used to be much worse back in the 80's and 90's.

What no one except people from Chicago know is that Chicago is not even the most dangerous city in Illinois.
FBI data indicate five Illinois cities more violent than Chicago in 2015 - Illinois News Network

maybe has something to do with where all the killing is taking place...never been to the chi but my cousin that stayed up there for a few years said the city is segregated as fukk and most the black people are only found in certain areas...im guessing all the killing is going on in those areas south and westside chicago...only nikkas killing nikkas....its urban genocide
