We tend to just focus on violent crimes as a basis for how safe or dangerous a city is, but perhaps whether certain property crimes are high, medium or low could also shed light on the state of affairs in some of these cities. First thing regarding this list I do noticed that some of the more violent cities also have higher rates in at least one category of property crime(burglary here). Detroit in particular is not only near the top when it comes to burglaries per capita but it is the arson capital (127.1/100k) per year, and it definitely shows in its physical state. I see that Seattle is right behind with a rate that is still 1,000+. Maybe the fact that it's home to a high concentration of homeless(most are probably drug addicts or alcoholics) has something to do with it.
Incredible that New York City is all the way at the bottom of the list, even in burglaries.
San Diego and Seattle are often trading places for 3rd or 4th highest homeless population, yet have very different burglary rates...
oh alright just thought that you didnt see it seems like nearly all cities on that list have an increase
