And Providence, at 1/4 of the population of Boston, is at 15.

couple things.

1. Only 1/3rd of Boston really has crime. You take Dorchester 120k + Roxbury 60k and that's Providence. Last year Dorchester had 33 homicides.

2. Boston is a very very neighborhood gang heavy/dependent. It's extremely cyclical Boston had 2x this many murders at this point last year.

3. Generally Providence has remarkably low crime for its demographics/poverty. It's in a bad spot the past 2 years.

4. Andrew Lelling's ceaseless zeal for organized crime- including street gangs-made a difference.

I don't know the neighborhood populations in Providence, but only one section of the East Side has crime. The rest of the East Side is virtually crime free. I'm just saying...you can't compare part of Boston to all of Providence.

Here is massnative's most recent map showing serious violent crimes in Providence. It is color coded by month and is for all of 2021 through July. I don't know which colors represent which months.

Regardless, as you'll see, there's essentially nothing in the East Side neighborhoods. Same with Elmhurst and part of Mt Pleasant (near Rhode Island College). And very little in Downtown.
