This is still an extraordinarily safe city, and while 39 murders to date is the most ever, this isn't the highest murder rate the city has had. There were years in the 90s that crossed 10 per 100,000...
Fayetteville 40/19.14 (down from record 47 in '21)
Durham 44/15.38 (down from record 47 in '21)
Greensboro 41/13.76 (second straight down year, from 51 in '21)
Winston-Salem 34/13.6 (down from 38 in '21)
Charlotte 90/10.23 (second straight down year, 98 in '21)
Raleigh 39/8.32 (record year)
All the big cities, except Winston-Salem and Charlotte, have set homicide records in 2020, 2021, or 2022. But all of these cities also had worse years by murder rate, in generations past when they were all smaller than they are today...
DC-198 at least still down from last year but headed for 200
Pgco- 104 down from last year but its supposed to be the suburbs.
I believe that's one of the out-dated stereotypes about suburbs. I remember around before 2008 in Socal that Los Angeles & Compton was known as the "big city hood". That perception slowly started changing since then. My guess is that each city/metros perception are generally also changing but at a different frame of time.

Another for PG county-105. What other cities other than Atlanta, St.Louis, maybe Birmingham metros that have alot of homicides outside the core city?
It is worth noting that many folks that lived in DC proper back in murder capitol days (late 80-00s) have since simply moved a few miles east. Nothing has really fundamentally changed in those communities besides the address. Anyone with more knowledge can feel free to correct me but I think gentrification has been a big factor in the decrease in DC's homicide rates and increase in inner beltway PG's homicide rates.

Not sure there could be a few more we don't know about. I'm just basing that off the perception in Socal. Even in Socal that might not reflect in the stats but just the perception.

It could be that, but honestly I see it's just another generation's worth of teens/ young adults now that have grown up in the "suburbs" of PG and really have a false sense of their who they are and what they can provide to their community. Just wasting their youth chasing the same old bs type of lifestyle.
The other day a 53 yr old man was carjacked and murdered for his BMW, by who I'm sure will wind up being teens or early 20's dudes that grew up in PGC, and not the District. We don't know who the suspects are are for sure now, but I live around the corner and know how these youngsters move now a days. Carjackings have been way up this year over 400 in the country, and now just criminals with nothing better to do are getting more brazen with their antics.
