Interesting that Minneapolis is on the list- most of the other cities are regulars and don't surprise me

Wonder why Pittsburgh isn't on this list. Also, no cities from NY state but two from NJ.

More than half those cities are Democrat cites in blue states

Almost all cities vote Democrat, as a whole. Even in Red States.

These lists are stupid since in most of the cities, crime is specific to certain neighborhoods with most of the city being fine.

Numbers, rates and trends for total crime, violent crime, murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, property crime, burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft are presented in both alphabetical and rank order for all metro areas and cities of 75,000 or more population.

The same lists are available from the US DofJ if you can run a spread sheet. Does not cost a thing and you don't have to buy a book.
