What do you mean by this. Baltimore city is independent of the county and they are night and day. DC is independent of its Counties but very similar in terms of its border with PG.

I said County EQUIVALENTS, not counties. It's a Census term for places where there is no county (or other odd arrangements). These include "independent city" in a few states, or Alaska "census area," or Federal District. The Census considers these exceptions as "county equivalents" for the purposes of designating metro areas among other things.
The independent city of Baltimore is a county equivalent. All of VA's independent cities are county equivalents, and so on.

Outside of Camden itself, Camden County isn't bad. Camden is a pretty small city with a small population, not that it matters when looking at crime rate but it's worth mentioning. Camden County has Cherry Hill, probably one of the best NJ suburb towns, especially in South Jersey.
This thread is better off looking at counties that are also cities and just cities, with no other municipalities mixed in, like Philadelphia County or Bronx County or something.
Good point. The consolidated counties would probably be the worst. Like New York City boroughs, even though NYC overall is a safe city.
Nobody mentioned or really heard of Prince George's County, MD. It has calmed down alot but always used to have over a 100 murders a year. Back in 07 I think it peaked at 173 murders and actually had more than DC's 169 that year.
I say counties where danger occurs is"
LA county
Miami-Dade
Harris County, TX
Prince Georges County, Md
Dekalb County, GA
Good list. Even though all these cities are safe overall(save for Miami), they all have suburbs that have rather high crime rates, and some of the burbs of the counties listed are worse than their respective cities(Compton, Miami Gardens, Harvey IL, the Whole PG County, Alief/Gulfton/Sharpstown Houston). Especially in Miamis case there's palm beach county, which is nearly as dangerous as Dade County, and West Palm has one of the highest crime rates in the nation.
