St Louis has had the nation's highest big city murder rate every year since 2014.Baltimore,Detroit and New Orleans all been in the top 5 during that same time frame..
With Baltimore recording 300 plus murders for 4 years in the row since 2015.
Most Murderous decade In American History Is The 1980's"
And Since the 1980's, only six big cities have held the dubious distinction title of U.S " murder capital, "as measured on a per capita basis.Besides St Louis, they include -
Detroit [ 6 times murder capital ]
New Orleans [ 13 times murder capital ]
Birmingham [ once in 2005 ]
Washington D.C [ 8 times ]
Richmond Virginia [ also once, in 1997 ]
While Chicago's murder rate is far from the highest in the nation,it has led the U.S in murder totals each year since 2012.Dating back to 1985, only two other cities have held this distinction: New York and Los Angeles, which are also the only two American cities with larger populations than Chicago's.
Based on all time murder rate for the 3 biggest cities,
#3 New York City all time murder rate is 27 per 100k [ 1990 ]
#2 Chicago all time murder rate is 33 per 100k [ 1974 ]
#1 Los Angeles all time murder rate is 34 per 100k [ 1980 ]
I saw that Pew Research Center article, but the actual murder capitals have been as follows
Gary, IN (11times) 1993, 1995-2003, 2005
NOLA (7 times) 1994,2004, 2006-2009, 2011
Detroit (5 times) 1985-1987, 2012, 2013
D.C. (5 times) 1988-1992
St. Louis (5 times) 2014-2018
Flint, MI (1 time) 2010
Thankfully you have the wrong numbers, they estimated roughly 335 murders by the end of the year but actually got 279. Which is still higher than I first thought, was predicting below 250 this year.
I did misread it as you say, it was an estimation.
