The Most Dangerous City In America – IOTW Report

The Most Dangerous City In America

Daily Caller: A new report names Baltimore, Md., as the most dangerous city in America after the city had the highest per capita murder rate in the country for 2017.

USA Today analyzed 2017 law enforcement crime data from the 50 biggest cities in the nation and found that Baltimore had a higher per capita murder rate than cities like New Orleans and Detroit.

Baltimore came in first with about 56 people murdered per 100,000 in 2017, seeing about 343 homicides throughout the course of the year. New Orleans, on the other hand, saw 40 per 100,000 killed and Detroit saw 39 per 100,000.

The city also saw more total homicides than big cities like Los Angeles, Dallas and New York City. The USA Today analysis left out St. Louis, a smaller city, that would have beaten Baltimore’s per capita homicide rate.  read more

  1. Just throwing this out there. The killings are horrible. Take the ten worst cities- hundreds dead and wounded. Where is the outcry? The TV hasn’t even thrown that professional PERPETUAL victim kid on screen, Hog.

    The mayors, governors, state houses, are doing nothing, saying nothing…

    My priest says you’ll feel better if you stop watching and reading the news. It could be a Lent thing.
