Number 6, Baltimore, estimates 60 rats per 1000 people. Number 1, NYC, estimates about 4 rats per person. Yowza. I guess we should be happy we don't have nutria, like New Orleans... they're not all that closely related to rats, but they're 20 pounds!
Thats the price NYC pays for being the so called greatest and best city in the world. Thriving cities like NYC are and is going to have a rat problem for years to come. Other great cities of the past had rat problems. Ancient, Athens, Classical Rome and Medieval Constantinople, Renaissance Venice all had rat problems during their heights and dominance of mercantile trade and people movement. In order for NYC to control or see some sort of decline in its rat population is for the city needs to decline in all shapes and form like other great cities that I have mentioned. When Rome declined and Constantinople fell their rat populations went along with it.
Well, on the bright side, you'll always have a roomie to share a bag of Cheetos with when you're home alone watching a movie in your 400sqft apt. that's costing you three grand a month.

Except that Detroit is hardly thriving. I think its the old cities which have lots of spaces in abandoned structures and cellars for water to collect and for rats to breed.

Detroit and it's surrounding suburbs have had rodent problems for years. Reason is simple: just as with New York City, New Orleans, Paris, France, London, England, etc... Detroit is a port city founded on the river of the same name.
