Boston is not big enough of a city or MSA to produce the stark contrasts in neighborhoods that the absolute largest cities could. Bostons homicide rate would have to be atleast double it's current one in order to match the neighborhoods of the other 2 mentioned.

Mattapan has the highest, followed by Roxbury and Dorchester. Raw number wise... Dorchester is the most.

So far this year:
Dorchester: 15 murders (~14/100k)
Roxbury: 10 murders (~16/100k)
Mattapan: 7 murders (~20/100k)
South End: 2 murders (~8/100k)
Downtown/Shawmut Peninsula: 2 murders (~1.5/100k)
Jamaica Plain: 1 murder (~2.5/100k)
Roslindale: 1 murder (~2.5/100k)

Compton had 13 homicides in 2019. 15 in 2015. Boston had 16 boys age 16-19 killed in 2017.

The worst in LA being egregiously worse than the worst neighborhoods of Boston really is debatable

I was going to say I don't think Compton should be considered the worst for LA anymore. Looks comparable to Dorchester or Roxbury.

DC- 195 might see 200 for 2nd year in a row
PGCo- 103

Skid row is pretty bad. I would say certain parts of downtown is probably the worst section of LA now.

Compton isnt a neighborhood of LA to begin with LoL.

39 for Montreal. Rare case where a fatal car accident might've been intentional, thus, the perpetrator has been convicted of second degree murder.

LA's shooting victim rate and shooting fatality % is higher than Boston's for that matter at a general level city to city
