Where are you getting these rates for Baltimore...There was 7 just last weekend. Worst than the whole city of Chicago.
Every city has its hot and cold spells. Earlier this year one neighborhood in Chicago saw 8 murders in less than 12 hours all within a mile of each other.
Here is where I got the rates for Baltimore. This site has the rates for Baltimore going all the way back to 2012.
The number of people shot in the 11th (Harrison) district on Chicago's west side through September
Nearly a third of the more than 3,000 shootings took place in just three police districts on the West Side, the Tribune found. Harrison ranked the worst among the city's 22 districts with 423 people shot, compared with 237 at this point last year, according to Tribune data collected from staff reporting and police reports. In two other West Side districts, shootings more than doubled — 265 people were shot in Austin, up from 112, while Ogden saw 232 people shot, compared with 106.
Number of people shot and/or killed in the Harrison district on Chicago's west side in 2016
Fueled by gang feuds and disputes over heroin sales, violence spiked to 1990s levels in the Harrison District last year, with more than 580 people shot and nearly 100 people killed. Its boundaries run between Western and Cicero avenues, Roosevelt Road and Madison Street, Kedzie and Cicero avenues north of Madison up to Division Street.
In the 11th, shootings are up by 78 percent compared to a year ago, and homicides are up 89 percent. So far in 2016, 91 people have been killed in this district, where only about 74,000 people live.That is more homicides than in all of last year in entire cities, such as Seattle (population 684,000), Omaha (444,000) and Buffalo (258,000).
Dallas is the only city with a million people to have a murder rate of 50 per 100k. Neighboring Fort worth had a similar rate at the time too. Dfw at its peak was more dangerous than the big 3

That's false. Detroit had a murder rate of 63 per 100k with 500,000 more people than Dallas. Where are you getting this ridiculous information from? Lol

Detroit didn't go under a million in population until the late 90s

Of cities that anchor metro populations of at least one million people, Richmond is one of the most dangerous cities in the 90s...
The only cities of 1 mil+ metros with a deadlier 1990s than Richmond were DC (67.33 decade murder rate) and New Orleans (63.2). Richmond had a decade rate of 57.43 per 100k. No other city over a million had a murder rate close to that in the 90s (Detroit was 4th at 51.3 for the decade)...
To boot, Richmond had the 7th highest murder rate for the 1980s decade and the 6th highest in the 2000s decade. Very few cities historically are as violent and wild as Richmond. In the 90s it was DC/Nola/Rich. No city will ever be as dangerous as 90s Washington DC again...
Just for comparison purposes, Chicago had a 25.37 rate for the 80s (17th place) and a 29.11 rate in the 90s (13th). Not really close to being the murder capital...
