Adding to that, the share of white people in NYC did not go up during the period, so the actual crime rates are dropping across the board with all demographics.
I believe nowadays some NYC projects actually have similar crime rates as middle class suburbs.
NYC most gentrified city out of any city in America. NYC also flooded with cops and heavy patrols
Baltimore is on pace for its deadliest year on record, on a per-capita basis and in total homicides.
This year is on pace to push 2015 and 2016 to second- and third-deadliest on a per capita basis, respectively, and to surpass the city’s record homicide total of 353 in 1993, when there were about 100,000 more residents in the city.
Baltimore has more homicides per-capita than Chicago. It also has more total homicides this year than New York City.
America’s Top Cities for Homicides Are on Track for Historic Rates in 2017

America’s Top Cities for Homicides Are on Track for Historic Rates in 2017
St. Louis, Baltimore, and Detroit recorded the highest per capita homicide rates of major American cities last year. Six months into 2017, it looks likely that they will maintain the dubious distinction. Baltimore is on track to have the highest number of homicides per capita in the city’s history. St. Louis faces its highest rates since the crack wars of the 90's

That is absolutely insane . With less population in the city than in 1993 and having better healthcare as far as more people surviving gunshot wounds in present day than in the early 90s. That is pathetic man!
Atlanta is at 71 murders as of November 4th. Last year at this time, Atlanta was at 96. Deadlier than average last month or so with 12 murders in the last 28 days(Atlanta typically averages 6-8 murders a month). This unseasonably warm weather probably doing more harm than good.

"The research letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Tuesday takes a closer look at the nature of gunshot wounds in patients at Denver's largest trauma center. What it finds is that based on the increasing severity of gunshot wounds and the increasing number of patients shot multiple times, patients are now more likely to die from a gunshot wound than they were even 10 years ago. That's not the case for other trauma such as falls, accidents and stabbings."
Regarding western municipalities, that's because they're newer – they have much wider boundaries and the counties as a whole are also vastly larger. Hence, you're more likely to get lower murder rates. It's not a mystery.
This is why the FBI prioritize MSA's, it's a great leveller. It's not perfect, you're never going to get that. Several of the bigger cities have grown beyond their MSA (NY, LA, SF, arguably Detroit).
A few of the entries are already within larger urban areas, also Chicago is worse than a good part of that listing to be fair. It's as overhyped as all hell but it isn't as low as some of those either. I mean, Cincy's on there? It's not even as bad as Columbus.
Memphis would be a lot higher as well. It's as much a narrower-the-boundary-relative-to-metro-the-higher-the-ranking list as a murder rate one.
Bingo! Not sure why anyone puts stock in rankings that do not consider the entire metropolitan area when weighing statistics.
While most of us pull city stats, I think it's mostly because of ease. we all know metro are the important numbers.
