Actually, sorry, I made a mistake. It was one murder for the month of August. Still amazing.

As of 10/29:

Richmond at 28, on pace for 33-34 (~15.5/100k), down from last year (41/18.81)...

Norfolk at 21, on pace for a record low of about 25 (~10.2/100k), down from last year (31/12.65)...

The murdervrate and crime overall have been plummeting in VA's two premier cities for a decade now. Even just 10 years ago, Rich had 84/43.08, Norfolk had 59/24.48. 20 years ago--1995--Rich had 120/59.11, Norfolk had 53/21.72...

Crime in Virginia has come a long, long way...

Yeah seems the city slowed down from that start early this year. Will wind up well less than 300.

St. Louis - 171 as of 11/4

St. Louis' total this year so far exceeds every yearend total from 1996-2014. 1995 had a higher yearend total (204) than St. Louis' current total, although it appears the city is going to come close to it this year.

Nice! Hopefully Boston can finish below 5/100k this year. I think finishing below 5/100k should be a goal for any major city in the US
