Chicago- 160,000 gang members in the metro area in approx. 100 gangs
LA- 130,000 gang members in LA metro in approx. 90 gangs
NYC metro- 70,000 gang members
Phoenix- 30,000 gang members
Memphis- 15,000 gang members
Notice that Chicago has over 2x the membership of the NYC metro and is half the size, giving it 4x per capita.

Damn, Memphis is worse than Houston.....at least according to this:
The article also said that Houston's 10,000 gang members are broken up in 225 gangs. That's an average of approx. 40 people per gang.
Assuming one takes out MS-13 and the Latin Kings, which are the two largest gangs in Houston, that's probably around 8,000 left. This leaves about 35 guys in each gang.
Houston is a very spread out city so probably each gang is independent.
Contrast this with the Latin Kings in Chicago which have 30,000 members alone.
Chicago is the motherland for the gangs today. B.P.S.N, Gangster Disciples,and Vice Lords made the foundation for todays gangs such as bloods and crips.No disrespect to anyones city but chicago is by far the most gang populated.

You have no idea what you are talking about, Philly is not a "gang" city at all, especially in shear numbers.
