I looked at the numbers from 2007 about 18 months ago using the district homicides and the population of community areas to roughly figure up that 75% of Chicago's murders occur in areas with roughly 25% of the city population.
Based on that you could say that (based on 25/75% of Chicago's population and murders)
708,213 people deal with 332 homicides a year in the city for a rate of - 46.88/100,000
2,124,639 people deal with 111 homicides a year in the city for a rate of - 5.22/100,000
South/West sides Chicago: 332 for 708,213 people - 46.88/100,000
Remainder of City/Metro: 285 for 7,934,638 - 3.59/100,000
No.. it's nowhere near the 90s. 221 homicides is NOT 600 some for the same time. I mean, you have 10,000,000 people... the amount of crime for that many people is astonishingly low.

I was talking about yesterday being like the 90s not the year. Surely it would not spike that high that quickly. If 4 murders like that happened every night that would equal 1,460 per year... like the 90s. NYC had 4 murders in a night just a few days ago also. It is up this year significantly and in a span of 14 days there has been what 30 murders?

we dont have 10 million people dont gas up our population, but if your talking about the metro area then im guessing their would be more then 221 murders.
I dont have the exact #, but Milwaukee is right around 25 murders for the year. Which is down about 16% from last year. I guess thats not too terrible for a city with a pop. of 630,000+.

thats a good percentage for a city with a small population.
