Has there been a rise in suburban homicide rates to coincide with the city center declines?
I think this would start becoming a trend for many major metro areas if it hasn't already. With home and COL prices up within city limits across the country, and there being much cheaper options in suburban areas nationwide, it would only make sense. Cheaper and less affluent suburbs in metro areas tend to see higher crime rates.
Chicago, IL is at 39 which is down from 52 homicides same time period in 2017 also city saw 100 fewer shootings than January 2017 and January 2016 it is 26% decrease same time period.
New York City is at 20 homicides down from 22 in January 2017 numbers it is decrease of 9% but shooting victims and indents are up.

I’m predicting that 2019 will bring Chicago back to levels before 2015.
