That's good - though this source's data is wrong about the total number for 2016. They are 46 homicides too high per official FBI and CPD counts. Hoping that it continues though - 2016 and 2/3 of 2017 were pretty bad, and then all of a sudden things went back to kind of "normal" for the handful of years prior to that. Average for a January when the counts were lower were usually in the 30s for a January - right now it's more on track for that, so here's hoping that it ends up even below that average.

Your data for 2017 is wrong. Chicago had 27 homicides between 1/1/2017 and 1/16/2017. It saw 26 in the same time period for 2016. Here is the official source: https://data.cityofchicago.org/Publi...ijzp-q8t2/data

Good start for philly
How does L.A compare to 2017?
LA Compares well, the City had almost 300 Homicides last year,
this year it's on pace for fewer than 200 (Which would be a new historic low
& great to see IMO).
Except for the fact that, minus the last few years, Chicago and Philadelphia were basically almost exactly even every year in homicide rate per 100K people for 2013 to 2015 (Philadephia still higher) and before that, Philadelphia was a bit higher than Chicago in homicide rate.
Chicago barely even cracked the top 10 with its insane increase of homicide in 2016. The previous years, Chicago was barely even top 20 highest in rate. Cities like Miami were higher most years. No offense, but the pure fact that you even mention Chicago and Baltimore in the same tier of this stuff shows your lack of understanding what counts, which is the rate - and the fact that Baltimore is most years over 2X the homicide rate of Chicago.

For some reason I can't find the data on the FBI site for Chicago for 2010 and 2009, but Philadelphia's rate that year was 19.64 per 100K while the official data site of Chicago for crime (https://data.cityofchicago.org/Publi...ijzp-q8t2/data) has it as 16.14 per 100K that year.
STL still at 6 currently. I’m sure some of this is due to the abnormal freezing temps, but a good start so far. Hopefully the trend continues
I remember the first month living here there where only a handful of homicides and all of a sudden all hell broke loose. St Louis can go from zero to 2 million in 5 seconds. I do like the new police chief and his ideas.
