Gotcha, good point.

About 90% of crime happens in the old areas of Columbus.

So if you get rid of 150k-200k and 3 or 4 murders that shoundn't belong then you get a Columbus with a population of 530,000 but still with the same crime numbers. Then you should get Columbus within the top 25 most dangerous cities in America.

Crime stats are ranked by how many 100,000 people will be murdered or get any other sort of crime. So if you have a Columbus with 530k then the murder, theft, shooting, break-in and every other kind of crime will make the stats go up from what we have right now. If you keep adding people then the stats will go down since most suburbs don't have alot of crime. Now I only say that because COLUMBUS IS ADDING ITS SUBURBS AS PART OF ITS INNER-CITY!!

I'm not trying to make the city look worse then it really is but why should we or anyone who wants to move here be lied to? Yes 43 is bad but thats not where we belong. WERE RANKED RIGHT BY CANTON in crime stats!! Who thinks Canton is as bad as the inner-city of Columbus?
We can't change the city too much right now but we can still tell people its no fairy tale land.

Also if you get rid of the 200k that doesn't belong then the 69% white will go down and the 24% black will go up.

Ohio's most dangerous cities:
1. Cleveland
2. Columbus
3. Dayton
4. Cincinati
5. Toldeo
6. Canton
7. Akron

Youngstown, Cincinnati, and Dayton (at the very least), should all be ahead of Columbus. It looks like the only one you have right is Cleveland.

Your list is made up and flawed. I got the other list from a credible source.

[you1243]

well your sources are incorrect based on life experiences are were i get mine)_ sorces are just pain and simple wrong how could dayton be more dangerous than columbus and once again the L.A to akron subject

[you1243]

somebody look at cle440 source and tell me if the source lists truth or not in your opinion...
i just dont think its a quote on quote credible source as you say

[you1243]

you guys or ladies idk, think its an idea how bout you find a better source than given to prove real facts

So, we should ignore the actual murders per X amount of people?
