Man, I finally found the population numbers for DC police districts in the 1990s along with their number of total homicides. Y'all better thank me for this one! It took a lot of Google research to find this lol. And I have to say I must give DC their credit. The majority of DC was a hellhole.
The police district with the highest murder rate was the 6th district at 143 homicides per 100k residents. Right behind that is the 7th district.
With that being said, the most dangerous police districts in Chicago are still slightly more dangerous than DC's.
Chicago's Wentworth district (1990)
Population: 65,834
Murders: 99
Rate: 150 per 100k
Chicago's Englewood district (2016)
Population: 58,277
Murders: 87
Rate: 149 per 100k
But what's unique about DC is all of their worst districts are on top of each other whereas in Chicago you can go through miles and miles of nice areas before you get to it's worst districts. DC doesn't have that, it's pretty much all bad except for 1 or 2 districts.
Maaan, you da real MVP!!
Nice info. So, percentage wise Chicago had (idk how it is now) way more nice areas than DC.
Still, though, there might be some area in Detroit or St.
Louis or somwhere else that was even worse. But we'll have to settle with Chicago's Wentworth district, I guess.

Well in 1993 which is the deadliest year on record for STL, the district with the highest murder rate was the 5th district at 169 homicides per 100k
Correction: The 5th district murders rose from 35 to 44 between 1993 and 1994.

And just to the south of the 6th District, in the city's 5th District, the number of homicides rose sharply - to 44 from 35.

........................but nah good research! This what im trying to breakdown as well. All the bad areas were continuous across SW,SE,NE DC and doesnt show the numbers for the MD border as well with PG County. There was a significant amount of murders in PG County across the DC line that share a border that doesnt explain the whole picture.

Compton peaked at 87 in 1991 with a little over 90,000 residents. The Englewood district in Chicago saw 87 murders in 2016 with 58,277 residents. Compton was only probably half black half Latino though while Englewood is pretty much all black.
Yes of course because it's a small city. If you have a problem with that then you should definitely have a problem with comparing big cities to small ones.
Bridgeport was more Dangerous then NYC in the late 80s early 90s Bridgeport was the Homicide Capital in 93’ no city in Connecticut ever was close to Bridgeport Homicid rate in 93' or even other citys in other states

It states Bridgeport's all time high was in 92 with 63 homicides, pop 139,000. Thats rate of 48. Thats not even worthy of mention in this discussion.
