Does Richmond CA have at least 100,000 people? You'll notice that Camden or say Saginaw isn't listed either.

Historically it's always been that way in New Orleans, robbery and agg. assault rate have been middle of the pack, while the murder rate has been top ten.

Now I can see why someone would want to live in Detroit or St Louis, screwed up as those places may be. But is it really worth the risk to live in Little Rock, Stockton, or Springfield, Il? Seems like an out of balance risk/reward factor to me.

No Compton either. Most White folks I know in Southern California do not have the balls to spend an entire day in that city. This list in bull.

Wow, Lansing is a surprise to me. I lived in Lansing back in 2006, and graduated high school near there in the 90's, I have never felt unsafe in Lansing.

Richmond had a huge drop in crime in 2010. For example, Richmond's murder rate fell by a whopping 50% last year.

Compton has supposedly chilled out a bit and it's probably more Hispanic than anything else now.
