What are they using, City Limits, Zip Code Area Limits, Metropolitan Area Limits, or what? Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the relative rankings.
And where is Lightfoot's Chicago? It usually is near the top of most lists of this type.
I'm guessing they use city limits for these stats, just based on what I saw pulling up a few.
Chicago doesn't even show up in the top 100, nor does any other large city, save for Detroit and St Louis. I think the large cities are diluted with the larger populations. If they did the stats on crimes per mile or sqft rather than population, the list would look much different.
There are quite a few large cities (bigger than Grand Rapids) that show up on this list:
Memphis, TN (#2)
St. Louis, MO (#5)
Little Rock, AR (#8)
Cleveland, OH (#11)
Milwaukee, WI (#13)
Kansas City, MO (#15)
New Orleans, LA (#28)
Albuquerque, NM (#29)
Oakland, CA (#30)
Houston, TX (#31)
Anchorage, AK (#40)
Minneapolis, MN (#42)
Nashville, TN (#46)
Lubbock, TX (#52)
Dayton, OH (#54)
Tulsa, OK (#55)
Washington, DC (#62)
Toledo, OH (#67)
Buffalo, NY (#79)
Baton Rouge, LA (#85)
