Looks like Houston, Milwaukee, and Chester PA are all having big spikes this year. Chester already has a rate of 52/100k right now so that will assuredly be over 100/100k at years end. That would mean 1 in 1,000 residents are murdered. Jeez. It's only a city of 33,000 though so its 33 or so murders in a year aren't going to be reported by the national media.
Camden similar city to Chester only record 3 or 4 homicides this year. Homicides are going down in Camden but not in Chester. NYC is seeing upstick also only 6% but not as dramatic as those cities, Chicago it on par with 2019, LA is seeing upstick also it only 5%. Most cities are down only few seeing upstick. Chester and Wilmington, Delaware is basically mini North Philly the row houses, alleyways.
Biggest spikes

It in desert area Inland Empire going toward Las Vegas and also largest county in America.
Fun Fact: San Bernardino County is larger than state of Massachusetts, Maryland, Vermont, New Jersey, Connecticut it slightly smaller than state of West Virginia it shows how big California really is. Los Angeles County is almost size of state of Connecticut.
Yeah it shows how inflated SB’s and the Inland Empire’s numbers are.

Northern tip of Cali to Southern tip of San Diego it nearly 800 miles or almost 12 hours on interstate 5 it like driving from Midtown Manhattan to Savannah Georgia but you are still in same state.

Chester, yes. That entire small city is in a state of utter despair. And oddly, when you travel 10 minutes away you are in some extremely safe affluent communities. Most of the worst areas of Chester is on the other side of I-95 which is a huge barrier.
But your comment about Wilmington is highly generalized and somewhat inaccurate. There are a lot of very nice livable sections in and around Wilmington. I travel there often for work.

How so? If you are talking about homicides, those homicides that were posted are only the ones that occured in the City of San Bernardino, which is roughly 62 sq miles.
If you are talking population figures for the IE being inflated, the vast majority of residents of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties live in the portion that's referred to as the IE, which is basically LA suburbs/exurbs. Other than the IE and the Victor Valley(400K) in San Bernardino County, most of the rest of that huge county is virtually empty Mojave Desert with just Barstow (pop 22K), Twenty-nine Palms (26K), Yucca Valley (21K), Needles (5K) and a few tiny towns spread over the rest of the area. Riverside County does have about 1/2 million in the Coachella Valley, but east of there is empty desert all the way until you get to the Arizona border at Blythe (pop 20K). The rest of Riverside's population lives in the IE. So about 3.5 million in the IE, and maybe about another 1 million living in all other areas of the counties combined, for at total of 4.5 million in both counties combined. The Coachella Valley is more self-contained, but the Victor Valley's commuting patterns make it exurbs of the IE, making it more like 3.9 million in the IE with 600K in the rest of the counties combined, most of that in the Coachella Valley.
OxnardNative is correct. It is s separate city of 200,000+ roughly 60 miles east of LA. It's not even in the same county as LA.
Okay Thank you. I was under the impression San Bernardino was much closer to LA than that. LAPD would include its crime into their database. Some cities have inflated crime rates because they include neighboring suburbs and towns, St Louis is a prime example.
Sort of depressing that even a pandemic can’t stop people from killing each other as much as they were. I wonder if the drug market is up due to the lockdown which is fueling gang related homicides.
